The process of painting was examined and brought to life in 10 new works by artist, Ben Marxen. Video forms combined with traditional painting which in turn combined seemlessly with a 3-D sculptural continuation of the form into the viewers space. These combinations of forms created a living work of art that generated before your eyes and figuratively jumped off the wall. Originally from Dubuque, Marxen lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.
