Sack creates imaginary cityscapes of extraordinary complexity and detail, filled with myriads of miniature and sometimes recognizable buildings. The title of the show, Eroica, references Beethoven’s symphony and the four largest works in the show correspond loosely to the four movements of the symphony.
In Sack’s words :
“The overarching theme of this "symphony" is the hero's journey (viz the viewer’s) into drawings detailed, complex and rich in metaphor; a sort of modern, existentialist epic."
Benjamin Sack is a recent graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia. where he received his BA in Communication Arts. He has exhibited at the Anderson Gallery, The New York Society of Illustrators and the Museum of Russian Art.
