Assemblé Original Art by Ben Payne
Oil Painting
Framed: 125cm x 125cm
This dynamic figurative piece showcases Payne's masterful command of movement and energy. The artwork captures a ballet dancer mid-leap in a vibrant yellow dress that trails dramatically against a deep blue background.
Payne's distinctive style is evident in his sophisticated handling of motion and light. His careful attention to the dancer's form - from the graceful extension of her limbs to the flowing fabric of her dress - creates a piece that perfectly embodies its title, capturing both the technical precision and joyful expression of this classical ballet movement through bold, sweeping brushstrokes.
About The Artist
Ben Payne brings over two decades of professional painting experience, transforming his passion for art from a former career as a Behavioral Therapist into a successful artistic journey. Though largely self-taught, his foundation in observational skills and draftsmanship was nurtured by his late mother, herself an accomplished artist.
His artistic focus centers on the British coastline, drawing inspiration from the escapist quality of seaside vistas and far-reaching skies. Payne's unique approach to "imagined realism" seeks to capture the ideal essence of each scene he portrays.
His dedication to mastery is exemplified by his ambitious self-training project - creating a thousand small studies that not only refined his technique but found homes with collectors across 22 countries worldwide. This global reach has become a cornerstone of his continued success.
Currently working from his studio near the south coast, Payne continues to seek fresh inspiration through extensive travels across the UK and beyond, constantly evolving his distinctive coastal aesthetic.
