About the Item
Passages by Ben Schwab presents a crisp, contemporary cityscape with a striking sense of clarity and momentum. The architecture is rendered in clean, geometric blocks of color, cool greens, blues, and whites punctuated by warm oranges and reds, giving the scene a sleek, almost architectural precision. Strong linear perspective pulls the eye down the corridor of buildings and streets, creating a feeling of depth, movement, and urban flow. Despite the complexity of the forms, the palette and light keep the painting feeling open and airy, evoking a modern city experienced from above, where structure, energy, and optimism coexist.
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.
