Rain Fall

Sally King Benedict

For the past seventeen years, Benedict has built an impressive following with major solo shows and features in Elle Decor, House Beautiful, Domino and Southern Living. “Teetering between exhilarating abstraction and loose representation, Benedict is able to captivate her audience. Her canvases are vibrant landscapes where the joys of excess are celebrated. She invites viewers to immerse themselves in a world where color knows no bounds and free expression reigns (SVPN, July 2024). “

TAP INTO is Benedict’s latest exhibition with Hemmings Gallery. For the artist, “I have enjoyed experimenting with different mediums for this exhibit in an effort to free the mind from any artistic constraints. Naturally with young children, I have found myself having inner childlike moments sparking from early on when I first learned to build sculpture with clay and paper maché. I have tapped into these memories and fondness in a way that has carried over to the painting and mark-making process on my 2D surfaces. I want painting and sculpture to become complimentary in this exhibit while each piece maintains individuality in and of itself.”
