This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. Andrew Bennett’s Coastal Patrol is a strikingly surreal composition that seamlessly blends reality with the whimsical. The painting depicts a sunlit room bathed in cool turquoise tones, its open windows framing an idyllic seascape beyond. A bold red-and-white lighthouse stands steadfast against the horizon, anchoring the scene in a sense of place and stability. Inside the room, objects take on an uncanny presence—a simple electric fan, a glass fishbowl, and a hovering tern that appears to be crossing the threshold between interior and exterior worlds. The precision of Bennett’s brushwork brings an extraordinary sense of clarity and luminosity to the piece, each surface reflecting light with crisp realism. The way the fan’s breeze subtly disturbs the water in the fishbowl hints at unseen forces at play, adding a layer of quiet intrigue to the otherwise serene setting. The juxtaposition of the bird in flight and the confined goldfish within its bowl sparks a conversation about freedom, movement, and containment—an underlying theme that invites deeper reflection on our own perceptions of space and possibility. With Coastal Patrol, Bennett masterfully captures the poetic tension between the natural and the constructed, the limitless and the enclosed. The painting radiates a sense of calm yet holds an element of surreal unpredictability, making it a captivating visual experience. This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online.

A Surreal Underwater Circus, Painting, Oil on Canvas
By Grace Diehl
Located in Yardley, PA
This is a playful painting that embodies the elements of whimsy and surrealism. The composition features a collection of scallop, spiral seashells and starfish arranged in a glass candy bowl, along with a large conch shell next to it. My research into clownfish inspired me to include fan coral in the painting, as they are known to swim amongst various types of coral. I was surprised to learn that clownfish are only 4-4.5 inches in length. The colorful hues of fan coral add to the overall vibrant theme of the piece. ********** "Just keep swimming, just keep swimming." - Dory, Finding Nemo...
