Before anyone complains about these photos, I’ve always had trouble capturing Benjamin Parker’s work once framed up. This time when I met him at The Other Art Fair his most recent cephalopod pieces impressed with their freshness and freedom of mark-making but were another nightmare for my camera.
Fortunately he helped me out by sending a better image (you can easily tell which it is).
He told me that, after many trials, the only medium that gave him the desired effect was octopus ink. You can’t get more genuine than that.
