GAVIN BENJAMIN

Born in Georgetown, Guyana, Gavin lives and works in Pittsburgh, PA as a multifaceted artist with backgrounds in commercial photography, painting, printmaking, and interior and product design.

His work combines original analog photography and appropriated images with collage, paint, varnish, and Swarovski crystals to create a mash up of couture art. Gavin is highly influenced by the way culture, media, politics, fashion, and design intersect, and his work asks questions that (continue to) confront a man of color in America today.
