He has had a long and storied career, notably working with Theodore Stamos at both Columbia University and the Art Student's League in NYC 1969-75. Quoting his published artist statement: Ben’s art has evolved from his studies of Abstract Expressionism with Stamos to a more idiosyncratic use of abstract form, color and light. His reputation is as a rich, subtle, painterly colorist who paints directly from his emotions as he reacts with Life’s experiences, his memories and his uncommon knowledge of the history of art but always with integrity and great feeling for life. less
