“Anthony Benjamin is a polymathic artist in that he is equally expressive as a painter. sculptor and printmaker. The link between these different media is his personal thesaurus of Sculptor’s Journal: a continuous notebook of source material to which he turns again and again. The basic theme running through all his work is the idea of objects standing in a landscape whose shape intrigue him. Sometimes these objects are realised as three dimensional sculpture in stainless steel, marble, plastics or wood. Sometimes, as in the etchings of 1977 A Sculptor’s Garden, the objects are drawn in a relationship to sky, trees, and paths. As one perception of an object leads you on to the subtly different but linked ideas, so his cones transform themselves into towers, or smoke into flags, or wheels into whirls. One thing leads into another. Like most artists, he returns endlessly to certain ideas, trying a different instrument to draw with, a different eye level, a different juxtaposition with the next idea”.
