Portrait Of An Artist

The eminent contemporary artist, portraitist, musician and thinker, Paul Benney’s artwork spans genres from Neo-Expressionism to Photorealism.

His award- winning paintings are represented in major public collections around the world, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, The National Gallery of Australia, The National Portrait Gallery in London and even The Throne Room of Buckingham Palace. His portraits and contemporary works have been featured across television, radio and documentary programmes on all major international networks, earning him a reputation as one of the most distinguished contemporary artists working today.

Yet his creativity extends far beyond the canvas. A lifelong musician, he has recently written and released an album, Tree of Ghosts, adding another dimension to an already remarkable artistic journey.
