| Ben Vollers is an authentic
painter. Made of "paint and paw", his work does not pretend to bring
any message, does not pretend to moralize, nor to shock to draw attention.
This work shows "space", trying towards an architectural monumentality.
It is a deep breath of air, which gives it amplitude and eliminates the
limits with past, present and future.
It is a work to have with
you, to feel, to see and let yourself be carried away by transparent dreams,
under the watch of the strong "paw" of the artist. This work represents
a permanent value, which is why its price is really more than acceptable.
Even in them, there is "space".
