New paintings by Matthew S Bennett http://matthewsbennett.com/2007/03/20/upside-down-new-paintings-by-matthew-s-bennett/ http://matthewsbennett.com/2007/03/20/upside-down-new-paintings-by-matthew-s-bennett/#comments Tue, 20 Mar 2007 13:12:18 +0000 News http://matthewsbennett.com/2007/03/20/upside-down-new-paintings-by-matthew-s-bennett/

 

during the month of April at

The Butterfield Garage Art Gallery

137 King St.

St Augustine Fl

Opening reception will be on Friday April 6 from 5:00 to 9:00 pm.

 

Upside Down is a collection of paintings by Matthew Bennett done during his displacement to Japan.  Not really a series, Upside Down is an accumulation of somewhat disparate works created over the last three years.  The title of the show is a reference to the artist’s state of mind while living abroad, as well as his physically inverted placement in relation to his family and friends back home.
