DONN BENNETT
Open for Eastside Culture Crawl November 17 - 20, 2022
Mixed Media Fine Artist
BIOGRAPHY

Donn Bennett uses repurposed materials, sculpting compounds, and resin to bring a vibrant, 3 dimensional aspect to his paintings. As a mixed media artist, his experiments with substrates inform the artwork arising from it. The use of rough, reclaimed wood adds a layer of texture that can’t be found in the tabula rasa of a smooth blank canvas. He works in a variety of upcycled materials, including reclaimed wood, tempered glass, and discarded building supplies.
ARTIST STATEMENT
As a mixed media artist, I’m constantly changing, experimenting and pushing outside the box. For me, it's exciting to create and build the substrates I use from repurposed media. Each one is unique and informs the artwork that will arise from it. The use of rough, reclaimed wood adds a layer of texture that can’t be found in the tabula rasa of a smooth blank canvas.
