Benjamin Stanford is a figurative painter based in Denver, Colorado. Working primarily with oil, Ben often borrows from the foundations of classical painting and religious iconography, using them as a springboard to explore his own perspectives and internal world. He places his subjects in surrealist dreamscapes where the spaces that unfold feel both familiar and otherworldly. Benjamin is one of this year’s five emerging artists at the prestigious Cherry Creek Arts Festival. Read our Q&A with him at cherryarts.org, and meet him and 259 other talented, working artists, at the festival this July 4 to 6.
