There can be nothing to equal the impact of the first Chevrolet Corvette Stingray which invoked high automotive passion in the 1963 car world. Fast Forward 60 years - and that initial fulmination has been recreated through the C8 Corvette.
In a real way, the young woman's hand holding the key fob embraces the advent of sparkling technology, far surpassing the total computing power that took astronauts to the moon and back.
No longer merely a mechanical scepter in the old fashioned sense of the word, but dimensionless transportation to an existing world – embracing one or more desires.
She also points towards a future to continually remind the viewer that they, too, could be moving forward to exciting new worlds.
What you seek is what you shall get.
This original painting is a voice which speaks what you wish to hear and see. Your own experience may become whatever your heart desires – from the person holding the key, to the car to which it pertains.
Through this painting – or commissioned work - you will become the captain of your vessel set towards the goals you seek in the manner you want and the person you wish to be with.

Dutch-born Arthur Benjamins achieved acclaim in the UK and countries as far as Japan and Australia with his motor racing art. He pioneered the use of enamel paints, which no other artist had ever attempted in motor racing art. His colorfully trademark photo-realistic style caught the attention of the media and public. His use of photo realism by motoring artists since 1983 began to be widely copied.
He became extremely active in Land-and-Water speed record breaking art, resulting in having painted a wide range of book covers on the subject. His work has appeared as limited edition prints, countless newspapers and magazine articles. He has also appeared on national television.
He is completely self taught, which enabled him to explore his visions without rigid guidelines set by specific tuition.
He pioneered “Abstract Iconography”, where known and lesser-known iconic images are guided into a form of minimalism, a heartbeat away from abstraction. This also embraces portraits of musicians, actors, politicians, artists and racing drivers.
He has also totally revived “Neoplasticism” which fell quiet in 1944 when Dutchman Piet Mondrian died in New York. Benjamins has taken over this baton and his own style has cast a new spell on this entire movement. Again, with the use of texture and specific colors, he partially maintains the edict of Mondrian's strict ethos, balancing it with his own
Like his Dutch expatriate predecessors, Willem de Kooning and Piet Mondrian, who settled in the USA, Arthur Benjamins plans to follow in their footsteps and leave his own indelible mark in the world of art.
His first of many USA exhibition was in 2014, and in this short while, his work has begun to move into the hearts and minds of a great many Americans.
