Andrew Bennett’s Fourteen Foot Bank is a mesmerizing interplay of interior and exterior spaces, where nature and human-made structures exist in poetic dialogue. A lighthouse, weathered and standing resolutely in the middle of calm waters, is framed by the open doorway of a quiet room. The scene beyond is crisp and serene, with a pale blue sky reflecting on the gentle waves, while the foreground consists of a meticulously rendered tiled floor in muted tones of green, cream, and black. The perspective draws the viewer’s eye through the room, out to the open world beyond, creating a dreamlike connection between the domestic and the untamed.
At the heart of the painting, an American Avocet perches delicately on a lush green plant set atop an elegant wrought-iron stand. The bird’s poised stance and elongated beak suggest attentiveness, as if it is considering a journey toward the sea. This unexpected juxtaposition between a coastal bird and an interior space lends the painting a surreal quality, where the boundaries of reality and imagination blur. The avocet's warm, earthy plumage contrasts harmoniously with the cool hues of the lighthouse and water, further enhancing the painting’s visual and conceptual balance.
Bennett’s precise rendering of textures—be it the reflective ceramic floor, the soft tufts of foliage, or the lighthouse’s rusting exterior—grounds the work in realism, while its composition hints at something beyond the tangible. The scene is imbued with quiet contemplation, inviting viewers to consider themes of solitude, transition, and the passage of time.

“My craft has developed predominantly in the studio, though of course there have been influences along the way. My favourite medium is acrylic on canvas mainly due to its versatility and quicker drying time. The way I work is derived from the Old Masters but with a contemporary understanding of modern materials and procedures”. – Andrew Bennett

Mark Bowers- Artist Statement
With the depiction of landscape playing such a central role in the history of North American art, it seemed to offer many of the critical possibilities I was looking for, and it felt more and more like something I have always known. Something I could easily apply, stage, and manipulate as a diary.
My work consists of small-scale highly detailed landscape paintings. They are inspired by the comfort, trepidation, and beauty found in the mundane Chicago Suburbs. I combine nature, decorative house wares...
