New from Seth Haverkamp, this captivating still life showcases the artist’s mastery of light. A simple glass jar and suspended pinecone become the focus of a glowing constellation of color and atmosphere.⁠

An internationally acclaimed painter known for both portraiture and imaginative still lifes, Haverkamp draws inspiration from beauty, color, and the drama of light and shadow. Here, the ordinary becomes magical, suspended somewhere between observation and imagination⁠

Blue Diamond Dust Hutch by Hunt Slonem glows with the rhythm and repetition that define the artist’s iconic visual language. Layers of deep cobalt blue, luminous diamond dust, and repeated rabbit forms create a surface that feels both meditative and alive—where figuration dissolves into pattern, texture, and light.⁠

This painting is spectacular!⁠

Exciting News! Bender Gallery is proud to announce representation of North Carolina pop artist Paul Rousso.⁠

Rousso is renowned for inventing "Flat Depth"—using digital printing and heat-sculpted polymers to transform flat items into massive 3D wall sculptures.⁠

"Batman's Coins" is a spectacular mixed-media collage on hand-sculpted polystyrene . It crumbles together nostalgic pop culture artifacts, including vintage comic panels, classic candy wrappers, and Iconic brand ephemera from Brillo pads to Marilyn Monroe.⁠

Visit Bender Gallery to see the incredible scale of Rousso's work in person, or DM us for collector inquiries.⁠
