Ben Steele: New Works

25 February - 4 April 2025
Overview

This exhibition presents new works by Ben Steele, whose diverse style brilliantly bridges art history and contemporary culture. Steele's compositions pay homage to the luminaries of modern art, drawing inspiration from icons like Roy Lichtenstein, Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, and Gustav Klimt. His paintings demonstrate technical precision while intertwining elements of irony, nostalgia, and subtle humor. Steele’s compositions cleverly integrate elements like crayons, Etch A Sketches, and pencils, which can emerge as subjects or become integral parts of the main piece.

 

Steele’s work captivates with clever visual narratives that resonate with cultural significance, employing a masterful balance between tradition and innovation. Each piece invites dialogue, challenging perceptions and evoking emotions through a lens that is both modern and richly informed by previous art movements. In this exhibition, viewers will experience an engaging exploration of a creative vision that is at once thought-provoking and visually striking.
