About the Item
Expansion by Ben Schwab feels lush, luminous, and rhythmically alive, capturing a landscape through energetic, layered brushwork rather than fixed detail. Bold, gestural strokes scatter across the surface in a mosaic of color, sunlit yellows and greens, cool blues, soft lavenders, and warm earth tones, creating the sensation of light flickering across water, foliage, and ground. The composition suggests a balance between reflection and movement, with horizontal bands anchoring the scene while the surrounding marks pulse and shimmer. Overall, the painting has an immersive, joyful quality, evoking the experience of standing within a vibrant natural setting where color, light, and motion blend into a single, expressive moment.
Ben Schwab is an artist deeply fascinated by the complexities of urban environments. His work reflects the contrasting dynamics of cities, where decay meets vitality, expansion meets contraction, and history coexists with impermanence. Through layering and mark-making, Schwab captures these themes, manipulating images to create compositions that present multiple perspectives while introducing abstraction. This technique results in spaces that feel both familiar and foreign, blurring the lines between "here" and "there," and offering a unique experience for each viewer.
Originally from the Midwest, Schwab now lives and works in Upstate New York. He earned his Master of Fine Arts in Painting and is a recipient of the prestigious Indiana Jacob K. Javits Fellowship. His work has been exhibited in galleries and universities across the United States, where it continues to engage viewers with its exploration of the urban landscape and its fluid, layered visual language.
