Help! I'm Drowning!

After training in Venice, Italy and San Francisco, emerging artist Benjamin Anderson has been creating monumental oil paintings since about 2001. His painting style is famous for “just adding water,” a concept he developed himself as he focuses on subjects like cars, women, and mechanics—they’re just all under water!

Anderson struck a deal with the Converse shoe company as their All Star artist and his work for them was subject to viewing on London’s Channel 4 TV. His debut exhibition took place in 2001 in the De Morgan Museum of Fine Arts where he entered in the “emerging artists” category. His paintings are very large in scale and rather realistic. He has shown work in San Francisco, New York, Europe, and almost everywhere in California. Anderson is also the co-owner and co-curator of Anderson ART Collective.
