Teddy Benfield
Biography
Untitled (Indoor Open), 2020
Teddy Benfield is a Boston based painter and sculptor originally from Southeast Connecticut. He is a graduate of Union College (BFA) and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University (MFA).
Teddy’s work is rooted in the genre of still life but mixes interior and exterior spaces with mark making, Americana and a unique perspective of push and pull through the grotesque by using a multitude of textures and painted objects. Teddy’s work creates a balance between uniform objects and painterly manipulations of commonly seen still life objects and motifs of both New England and Europe through different perceptions of space.
