Looks to be very high quality work.

His print works are also top notch - I really like Eddy's work - if you dont already follow him on insta you should check out some of the process vids he posts - gives you a new level of respect for that type of work.

Eddy Bennett π¬π§ Sign Painter, Signage, Prints, by met on Oct 19, 2022 9:02:44 GMT 1, A very skilled craftsman, a very talented signwriter, but artist? Where is the originality, the wit, the interesting take, the risk, the humour, the hidden meaning, the ... art? Beautiful work, dont get me wrong absolutely nothing wrong with being a skilled craftsman today, is a very wonderful thing to be , and I imagine pretty difficult to make a decent living at it, it takes a lot of time, craft.
I would concur with your assessment, and consider it both thoughtful and fair.
When viewing the work of Eddy Bennett, there is clear evidence of technical skill and techniques, presumably learned and honed by him over many years.
Far less apparent are ideas that have any notable artistic merit; his artistic concepts are either non-existent or clichΓ©d.
It comes back to your helpful distinction between art and craft. Bennett seems more of a craftsperson than an artist.
Design-wise, I am not a fan of his colour palette. Or of his composition style. And so, visually / aesthetically, nothing is really there for me.
But the proper killer, to my mind at least, would be the lack of wit you have already mentioned.
When compared with other text-based artists β such as Lawrence Weiner, Jenny Holzer, Barbara Kruger, Ed Ruscha, but also fellow sign painters like Stephen Powers β Bennett's work feels uninspiring if not dull.
__________
As a separate aside, I noted with interest your delivery method using the so-called feedback sandwich.
While this technique does require more time and effort on the part of the commenter, it can often be the most effective way of critiquing β especially if trying minimise the risk of defensive or hysterical reactions in response.
