A hard-edge painter, Benjamin carries on in the tradition of de Stijl, a well-traveled road, whose traffic, oddly enough, seems to be increasing of late. His paintings are strikingly delineated with strips of black tape. The form, basically rectangular, is precisely and adventurously thought out, filled with chrome yellows and smoldering blues and greens. Benjamin’s pictures are busier than most of their kind and seem rather ingratiating.
