Jason Benjamin by Lost At E Minor
Recently voted by Australian Art Collector as one of Australia’s 50 most collectable artists (alongside Brett Whiteley no less), Jason Benjamin has been exhibiting both locally and internationally (New York, London) since 1989. His artworks are evocative and vibrant, feeding off the unique colour palette of the vast Australian landscape. Kevin Spacey owns two of them. But they’re not for those on a budget—he was the youngest Australian artist to sell a work for $50k. Nice work if you can get it!
