CONVERGE
CONVERGE is a collection of large scale Bensley and Dipré works combining analogue photography and painting. Their subjects are shot on black and white film, the silver gelatin prints are then mounted onto aluminium before the artists rework them in their Soho studio.
Each piece is floated in a bespoke frame, behind non-reflective, UV protected, museum quality glass. The frames are designed and made in London, exclusively for the show in conjuction with Andrew Sunderland of Beuys Framing.
Available works from the collection can be viewed by appointment. Email us at info@bensleyanddipre.com
Over time the collaboration between Nicola and David has acquired increasing layers of complexity, with David and Nicola’s nominal roles (painter - photographer) growing blurred and interchangeable. Both at shooting and print manipulation stages they look to push the boundaries of the process, through applying distortion or interposing other media in the former, or by incorporating scratching, drawing or collage (as well as painting) in the latter. These explorations serve to create a highly distinctive visual language, one that merges their respective disciplines and integrates the materials under their control.
Each piece is 71cm by 64cm framed and weighs approximately 7kg.
All items are priced at £8,400 / 10,000 USDC, excluding local taxes, import duties and shipping.
