Contributed by R. Blake Miller / Benjamin Klein’s solo exhibition “Sentinels and Satellites” at Tappeto Volante Gallery is at once enchanting and unnerving, like the fresh memory of a dream seen vividly even as it slips away. With an unapologetically saturated palette, the Brooklyn-based artist lays down paint in both translucent coats of tinted light and thick pools, blending natural textures with sublime color-mixing techniques. A surreal story involving animals and their plant counterparts unfolds. What initially feels inviting and innocent becomes tinted by dread. Mythic symbols hover beyond easy reading, coaxing viewers to explore their relationships with art more deeply.
