The Art of Ben Sack

Sack uses architecture as a medium that can express the unique space between realism and abstraction. From gothic cathedrals to skyscrapers, his cities are the product of his imagination. His dense, detailed urban landscapes, comprising buildings, roads, rivers and bridges span centuries. This large-scale cities take months to be completed.
Venetian Rhapsody

The artist derives his inspiration from the architecture, history, classical music, literature and geography. In 2014, he was in residency aboard MS Amsterdam, the ship which circumnavigated the globe for a few months and provided Sack with inspiration for his works.
Apart from solo exhibitions, Sack exhibited his work in many group exhibitions, mostly in New York and Miami. His largest artwork, Chronoglyph, was on view in Robert Fontaine Gallery in Miami at CONTEXT Art Miami in 2014.
