Allen Bentley is an artist who for the past two decades dedicated his art to creating ballroom dancers on canvas and paper, but now he has switched gears into vintage automobiles. While nothing seems to connect these two subjects, Allen has found what he calls “the through-line”… Motion. He has always had an enduring interest in capturing motion and now his car series titled, “Momentum”, Allen marries that interest and his love for driving into a beautiful compendium of speed and exhilaration. In “Momentum”, he’s not creating what driving looks like but what it feels like, and he’s hoping that fervor resonates with his audience. Born and raised in North Carolina. He earned his Bachelors at Western Carolina University in Fine Art and went on to get a Masters Degree in Fine Art with a Concentration in Painting at University of Pennsylvania.
