At Art Brussels 2024, Steve Turner is pleased to present new paintings by Pablo Benzo, Etsu Egami and Brittany Miller as well as new ceramic sculptures by Becky Tucker. All four artists create figurative works that have been modified by varying forms of abstraction. Benzo stylizes and streamlines his images; Egami and Miller use colorful linear patterns and Tucker uses iridescent and crystalline glazes to reimagine historical artifacts

Pablo Benzo (born Santiago, 1982) earned a degree in Graphic Design at University of Chile, 2009 before relocating to Berlin where he still resides. He creates paintings that are inspired by imagination, dream, design and nature. They have a tropical island feeling as though they depict blue skies and oceans, fiery sunsets, green hills and exotic plants, fruits and flowers. Yet there are no such scenes. Benzo mostly creates exotic interior scenes that contain windows to the outer world.

Etsu Egami (born 1994, Tokyo) studied at The Karlsruhe University of Arts and Design and at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Beijing. Her distinctive paintings reflect her deep interest in linguistic miscommunication and its implications on contemporary society. She lives and works in Tokyo and Beijing.

Brittany Miller (born 1990, Utica, New York) received a BFA and an MS from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. Her paintings typically depict solitary figures resting in contemplation. While there is an overall serenity in her images, she adds complexity by painstakingly applying oil paint in straight or undulating parallel lines. In so doing, she also conveys mystery through the emptiness that lies between the lines.

Becky Tucker (born 1993, Robin Hood’s Bay, England) graduated from Edinburgh College of Art (2017) before moving to Glasgow where she now lives. She creates ceramic sculptures that are inspired by historical artifacts such as armor, weaponry and architectural ornaments. In her suits of armor Tucker subverts the power of the source object by making hers fit a female form and by using lustrous glazes on fired clay.
