BENINI Benini's exhibition career started with a one-man show in Milan, Italy in 1961. During his late teens and early 20’s, Benini painted landscapes and still lifes in a traditional style. By 1965, his painting evolved into large-scale, monochromatic renderings of the human figure. From the mid-1970’s, he alternated large-scale representations of the rose and dream-like paintings with strong symbolist content. During the mid-1980’s, Benini’s work took a sharp turn toward geometry and the mathematical sciences. At present, he is continuing his explorations in this field. To date, he has had 150 one-man exhibitions, primarily in universities, public institutions and museums. In 1999, Benini and his wife Lorraine purchased 140 acres in the Texas Hill Country that have been turned Into the Benini Foundation and Sculpture Ranch which includes the residence, guesthouse and a 14000 sq. ft. Studios Building with offices, showroom, studios and fine arts library. In the surrounding hilly, Mediterranean-like landscape, national and international sculptors are placing large-scale contemporary works.
