    The Cañada College Art Department is presenting an exhibition of paintings by Bay Area artist, Benedict Cressy. The exhibition is in the Main Theater Gallery, Building 3, and will run from February 19- April 8.
    Originally from England, Ben moved to Claremont, California, where he was exposed to a wide variety of art. He studied painting at UC Santa Cruz, developing a body of abstract paintings that led to expressionist figuration. Further studies included a stay at the Vermont Studio Center, and the MFA program at American University, in Washington DC, where he began painting the landscape.
    After graduate school, Cressy moved to New York to live and work in the center of the art world. For five years he worked on blending abstract, landscape, and figurative elements in his paintings, at the same time exhibiting his work extensively. Since 2001 Ben has lived in San Francisco where he continues to paint and to show his paintings.
    The current exhibition consists of 18 paintings, including two large scale works. The subjects include landscape painted on location, still life paintings, and surreal “spaces” in which the play of abstraction and representation is most evident.
