Larry Bentley
Larry Bentley a a self-taught artist whose work is mainly focused on Hard Edge Painting, Color Field, Minimal and Geometric Abstraction Art, with an emphasis on clean lines, varying shapes and color combinations, in the use of acrylic paints.
His inspirations derive from his past profession in the fashion and modeling industry as well as being surrounded by an abundance of art while working at The Metropolitan Museum of Art and at Sotheby’s Auction House.
Larry is greatly influenced by the many cultures and places traveled to, architecture, interior design and the Mid Century Modern era, especially by the prominent artists of that period and of the simplistic ethos and aesthetics exhibited during that time.
He wants viewers and buyers to have an immediate, absolute visual response to his art, engaging in the colors, shapes, forms and all its medium. One of his favorite quotes is from the great artist Frank Stella - “What you see is what you see”.
