February 14, 2007
Jennifer Benn, U.N. Finished Aluminum Phantom F4, 2006, oil on canvas,
46” x 72” Recipient of the Friel Award for Originality.
Award-winning artist, Jennifer Benn will present a slide lecture in
room A219, Paul Creative Arts Center, on Wednesday, Feb. 21, at noon.
The lecture will include discussion of her painting, U.N. Finished Aluminum
Phantom F4, recipient of the Friel Award for Originality in the New Hampshire
Art Association 59th Annual Exhibition, currently on view. The lecture,
offered as part of The Art Gallery’s weekly series of ArtBreak
programs, is free and open to the public.
Benn received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from UNH in 1990 and a
Master of Fine Arts degree from Syracuse University in 1994. She has
studied extensively in Italy, Ireland, and Spain. Most recently, Benn
has served as director for Art Study Abroad and as a professor of studio
art at Chester College of New England.
Benn’s work reflects an interest in technology and science, leading
to a visual exploration of light, color, and composition. She examines
the ordered world of machines and re-interprets their complex technology
into the language of art. Benn’s unique paintings have been included
in numerous regional solo and group exhibitions and she has received
several awards, honors, and scholarships. Benn received The Currier Gallery
of Art Award in 1994 and the Ezekiel A. Straw Memorial Award in 2004
for works included in the New Hampshire Art Association annual juried
exhibitions.
