BENHURA’s paintings are made up of multiple different LAYERS of materials. They are created through a HANDS-ON process involving accumulation, painting and removal. They effortlessly shift between ABSTRACTION and FIGURATION while prioritising the ornate TEXTURED and detailed.

These paintings have a powerful ability to associate; they suggest palimpsests, changing architecture,  archaeological restoration, and the reconstruction of histories.
Benhura’s artworks arrive through repeatedly being buried and rediscovered, destroyed and recreated, and it is through this approach the painting practice develops its own distinct character.
