Looking East, Brooklyn Navy Yard Painting

Benjamin Lindsay, is an painter/ printmaker based in New York City. His affection for New York is clear with his most recent series: “Love Notes to New York” a series of oils on panel and small gouache vignettes. His pieces often pare down complex city scenes to simple shapes and colors, that create a sense of timelessness and playful curiosity. Lindsay’s great-grandparents were painters, and their influence resonates in his work. "My great-grandparents were painters, growing up I always treasured their works, and even though I never met them, their art told me so much about who they were. I knew from an early age I had to speak to generations I would never meet.” Originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, Benjamin is now based in Brooklyn, New York.
