Benny Andrews uses a fertile imagination and a wealth of life experience to convey an expressive style that is fresh, engaging, and honest. Many of his compositions are part of a thematic or narrative series; Andrews observes that exploring a subject in depth often leads to creative tangents, like spokes branching from a wheel's hub. These paintings and collages jubilantly express the union of musician and instrument, and music's ability to transport us to a more satisfying plane of existence.
