About the artist: Ben Schonzeit is an American painter, sculptor and multi-disciplinary artist based in New York City.

Born in Brooklyn, New York in 1942, Ben Schonzeit received his BFA from The Cooper Union in 1964. Though primarily known for his photorealist paintings, Schonzeit has, over the course of his career, explored and investigated the sphere of photographic and found material through a myriad of different mediums and visual techniques. Through painting, collage, photography, drawing, and sculpture, Schonzeit has chronicled and distilled, over the decades, the rich and ever-evolving visual culture of his native New York and beyond.

Schonzeit’s most recent work builds upon this tradition, compiling his studio practice unto itself. Sculptures are depicted in paintings. Collaged material is developed into 3D work and animation.

Schonzeit’s works are included in prominent collections around the world. less
