Amy Bennett
Stunning oil paintings by Amy Bennett. At first glance they look like photographs of miniature models, which effectively forces you into an almost God-like point of view of each scene.

The process of designing and assembling the setting over several months triggered my imagination to develop characters to populate the place along with a loose timeline of events that would culminate in the neighborhood’s history. I considered who lived in each home, their family dramas, and the way their private lives might spill into view of their neighbors. Amy Bennett von hier. [...]

Very cool, I really like those.
Reminds me of the photographer Gregory Crewdson – If you haven’t checked him out – do.
It is interesting how we are looking at ourselves in model or miniture 3d…what are we “studying” of ourselves with this idea…I have also seen this with photography.
Wow, these are effin fantastic. Those trees reflected in the water just blow my doors off.
I visited Amy’s studio several years ago in DUMBO Bklyn. It was amazing to see her work in progress and process. The Paintings begin as painstakingly constructed models from which she does drawings and then finally paintings.
Wow, this work is really really nice!
I never visited Amy’s but it has to be amazing, to see her work in progress and process, that’s pure creativity.
wow this pics… paintings are amazing the lines in them are so clean and precise. I am definitely giving the thumbs up too your site. its so artistic.
this is what sweden looks like.
I liked the graphics so much!
