Ben
Labuzzetta Artist
From the earliest days of his youth, Ben has been entranced by the world of athletes and
the emblematic numbers that define them. His profound fascination with sports, coupled
with a pioneering technique utilizing thick acrylics, has given birth to a remarkable series
known as the “Numbers” collection. Within this collection, Ben embarks on a visual journey
that encapsulates the essence of 30 iconic numbers, paying homage to both historical and
contemporary figures in the world of sports.
The “Numbers” series is more than just
a visual representation of numerals;
it is a narrative crafted with passion,
skill, and an unwavering love for
sports. Each painting in this collection is an
exploration of a specific number, intricately
themed around the individual associated
with it. Through the medium of thick acrylics,
Ben creates a tactile and vibrant experience
that goes beyond the two-dimensional surface,
bringing the essence of each number
and its corresponding athlete to life.
The distinctive technique employed by
Ben involves the lavish use of thick acrylics,
providing a unique texture and depth to his
creations. This departure from traditional
methods contributes to the series’ visual impact,
creating a dynamic interplay between
color, form, and symbolism. The result is a
collection that not only pays homage to the
numerical legacy of athletes but also captures
the energy and spirit of the sports
world.
Every painting in the “Numbers” series
is a meticulously crafted composition, intricately
designed to incorporate elements that
are deeply connected to the individual athlete.
These elements serve as visual cues,
offering a narrative within the broader context
of the sports world. It is a celebration
of athletic achievement, a visual ode to the
legends who have left an indelible mark on
the games they played.
Ben’s innovative approach to blending
sports and art breathes life into the numbers
that define the legacies of athletes. The
“Numbers” collection stands as a testament
to the artist’s commitment to pushing the
boundaries of creativity and paying homage
to the iconic figures who have shaped the
world of sports. Through his distinctive style
and thematic exploration, Ben creates more
than art; he creates an immersive experience
that resonates with sports enthusiasts
and art aficionados alike.
