Ben Weinberg OPC '92
Exhibits in Special Gifts Gallery

An exhibition of large paintings by Ben Weinberg OPC '92 debuted in the Special Gifts Gallery from Jan. 18 through Feb. 28, 2005.

During a Gallery Talk, Weinberg spoke about the influence of geometry and architectural lines in his art. He answered questions about the inclusion of photographs -- digital images printed on canvas and seamlessly woven into the paintings. Randy Granger, head of Penn Charter's visual arts department, discussed Weinberg's treatment of color and perspective.

Weinberg frequently uses landmark sites as subjects. Included in this show were paintings of Times Square in New York City, the Delano Hotel in Miami, and the Waterworks and Ben Franklin Bridge in Philadelphia. His paintings employ a variety of paint applications, altered computer images and graphic elements of abstract fantasy.

Weinberg has degrees in art history and law from the University of Pennsylvania. He studied painting at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and is a member of the bar in New York and Pennsylvania. He currently lives in Miami, where he works full time in his art studio.
