In Benjamin Senior’s carefully choreographed paintings, female figures appear in rhythmic groupings, absorbed in moments of leisure or physical activity such as swimming and hula-hooping. His compositions reduce the human body to a vocabulary of stylized, geometric forms. In works like Birth of Spring (2013), a trilogy of figures stretches and folds into angular configurations—triangles, arcs, and L-shaped poses—creating a sense of measured movement and visual cadence.These bodily geometries are mirrored in the surrounding environment: patterned garments, tree trunks, and branching forms repeat and reinforce the painting’s structural rhythms. Senior received an MA in Painting from the Royal College of Art in 2010. He has presented solo projects at major art fairs, including Art Basel Hong Kong with BolteLang (2013) and Frieze New York with James Fuentes Gallery (2016). He works primarily in egg tempera, a medium that supports his precise surfaces and luminous color.
