Biography: The Grenadian artist Oliver Benoit began his career as a landscape and still life painter before devoting his time to the abstract genre. His paintings are in oil, acrylic, and encaustic. His work also includes audio, videos, and installations. It is not difficult to understand the messages conveyed in Oliver’s art, but it might help to understand his background as a social scientist, which sometimes dictates his subject matter for his art. Not only to express the subject matter visually but also to dwell into more in-depth thought on the issues he wishes to explore. There are two dimensions to his work: to provoke and encourage critical thinking from the perspective of viewers particularly problems that tend to impact the lives of people negatively; and to create a sense of pleasure that transcends the subject matter thereby encouraging viewers to go beyond the artist original ideas. Such engagements with his work are stimulated by the way in which Oliver creates his art to continuously perplex viewers. Therefore, Oliver encourages viewers to pay careful attention to his work. There is always more in the work than is initially perceived.
