J'Adore (2023) is part of a new body of Senior's work which portray people in various commercial contexts. Human figures are represented alongside images of movie stars advertising perfume and models advertising sportswear. At the bus stop, the models gazing out from the posters are an acknowledgement of the representational nature of art itself of course, but these works reference their artificiality in other ways too. The tall black frame of the bus stop shelter evokes the black frame of a smartphone screen – a frame that figures step in and out of, lean against, sit within and gaze at their own smartphones.
With paintings that combine serenity and energy, Benjamin Senior is an established member of Britain’s figurative painting scene. Focusing primarily on the female form, Senior explores the actions of sports and leisure. Patterns and graphic shapes are foregrounded in Senior’s subtly flattened spaces, inspired as much by contemporary life as by the Renaissance and twentieth-century Modernism. Senior works in the ancient medium of egg tempera: hand-mixing egg yolks with coloured pigments in his studio, in time-honoured fashion, to create a fast-drying emulsion. This thin tempera paint allows Senior to create his luminous, light-filled scenes of rest and play.
