Beyond Borders: The Art of Siona Benjamin will be traveling to a series of venues for her solo show, through museums in the midwest starting in Jan 2022 and ending in fall of 2023. Rest of venue details and dates to follow soon….
As a Jewish artist creating cross cultural and transcultural art, Siona Benjamin’s perspective bridges the traditional and the modern, and sparks discourse across cultures.
Her paintings are populated by blue-skinned characters, self-portraits of sort, through which she explores ancient and contemporary dilemmas.
These characters enact myths from various cultures and religions — becoming symbols of a timeless global identity free of prejudices and boundaries.
A Bene Israel Jew from India, now living in the United States, Siona has an MFA in painting from Southern Illinois University-Carbondale and an MFA in theater set design from the University of Illinois-Urbana/Champaign.
