Episode 2 - Benjamin Sack

 

Welcome to Art Lovers Forum.  Today I am speaking to Benjamin Sack, a one-of-a kind, creative artist, who draws composites of imaginary cities with pen and on paper. You have never seen anything like this. I saw Ben’s work 10 years ago, and knew immediately, that I had to own one of his masterpieces. It doesn’t matter what other pieces of art a collector has in his, or her, home, visitors will be immediately drawn to Ben’s work.

 

It’s fascinating, it’s inspiring, it’s so captivating. It’s also complicated, secretive and mysterious. So who is this person who can create these unimaginably intricate cityscapes with complex spatial arrangements? I love that they have been branded "abstract urbanism."

 

Ben is an American artist who received his BFA from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2011.

 

Ben has often said he draws a majority of his inspiration from art history and classical music. He is also influenced by historical cartography, symphonic orchestration, architectural drawing and extensive travel.

 

Let meet this most unusual artist and find out what makes him tick.
