Benjamin Luke Archer
I specialise in realist oil paintings. I am currently exploring portraiture and how altering the gaze of the subjects can change the experience of the viewer.
My preferred choice of materials is oil paints; however, I do work in other media. All my work showcases highly detailed realistic subjects. I aim to continue pursuing my art practice and have a career which utilises my practical skills and creative thinking.
