Abstract

Inspired by his numerous travels through Greece, celebrated Australian artist Stephen Benwell has completed a series of encased collections of objects, which take their form from trophies, urns, statues, shards and implements. The boxed collections make reference to Museum displays, the idea of a cased narrative of art history, and the at times comedic and haphazard spectacle of its presentation. [Gallery publicity]
