Margaret Benyon


Whilst going through a book I found, I came across works by Benyon. These were Richard Hamilton (1991) and a picture of her cosmetic series and others (1987-88)



I found that I was instantly drawn to these images by their intense colour and haunting imagery. I love the way she constructs colour in her images, bringing out emotions that would otherwise be unnoticed.
I would like to be able to get this type of colour in my films, to add a weird texture the footage.  I wonder if I can use fluro paint? Now that is something to consider.
