Bisa Bennett is an accomplished visual artist and designer with many years of experience as an award winning fine arts painter. After graduating at University Académie De Conservation Dès Objects D’Art in her twenties, she moved to Canada and continued her career in multimedia design.

She started painting at a very early age; “My earliest memory was when I was painting around the age of five. I used a chair as my table to draw and paint. My father would take my artwork to a very well known artist who would critique my work”.

Bennett explains that her approach to art is structured by light, how its presence or absence helps us give meaning to our activities and surroundings. Her oil and acrylic works all confirm this fundamental concern with light, though within at least two distinct styles. In every case, her planes in white create a certain coldness and distance, making their objects seem removed, unattainable, and flattened. This impression of detachment is reversed in the red regions of Bennett’s work. These tend to feature detailed depictions of objects from an extremely close perspective. The intensity of these shapes and objects is bolstered by their strong reds, which evoke at once passion and strength, but also temptation and mortality.

As her artistic vocabulary continues to develop, this stylistic interplay will only increase in complexity and yield increasingly fascinating results.

Bennett traveled and exhibited her work in Europe and North America. Her work was published in many magazines including the New York Times.

She is currently a director of Artio Gallery. “My dreams of becoming a full time artist, to be surrounded with art, and to meet incredible artists, have come true.”
