Benjamin Senior's paintings capture people at rest and play, distilling dynamic movements into serene, quasi-classical scenes. Senior's tranquil depictions of the habits of health— here, competitive swimming— are based on observational drawing rather than photography. This approach allows for a dreamy vision in which the patterns and geometries of everyday life are foregrounded, from the contours of the body in motion, to the swirling forms of interior design. The title Stroke Tempo alludes to the rhythmic pace of the swimmer: peaceful yet energetic, much like Senior's work.
