One point is nothing, many points are art. This principle was adhered to in the 19th century by the pointillist artists headed by Georges Seurat, and today - by his followers, in particular, the modern author Benjamin Laading … True, in the work of Benjamin there are neither landscapes, nor portraits of multi-colored dots - he prefers to draw letters. From a distance, Benjamin's drawings may resemble the tags typically found on concrete fences and courtyard garages, as well as high-rise buildings, bus stops, and billboards. But these tags are painted by amateurs with spray paint, and, as a rule, there is nothing original about them. Benjamin Laading's letters make you admire the author's patience and perseverance, his dedication and willpower.
Point by point, where there is less, where more, the author covers the canvas, or another plane set aside for creativity, and after many hours the contour of the future work appears from these points. Letters and words - nothing else. But even this is enough to respect the artist, at least for the originality of the performance and a lot of time spent.
By the way, the author's large-scale spot paintings are very often exhibited in galleries of contemporary art museums around the world. You can get acquainted with the unusual drawing technique on the Benjamin Laading website.
