Ben Schonzeit (b.1942)
paints magically evocative pictures with a Surrealist
edge. A pioneer in the SoHo art scene of the 1960s
and one of the leaders of the Photorealist movement
of the 1970s, he is best known for his gorgeous still
lifes of flowers - large, arresting canvases that
explore the artist's dream world. Schonzeit has had
numerous one-man exhibitions, and
his work can be found in the permanent collections
of major museums around the world.
In addition to paintings, our shows reveal
the artist's lifelong interest in works on paper, drawings and water
colors.
