SOLD

Mall Galleries
The Mall, London, SW1Y 5AS
15-24 November 2024


The ING Discerning Eye 2024 has been chosen by six distinguished selectors and will be on exhibition at the Mall Galleries, London 15 – 24 November 2024. There will be daily artist demonstrations. The online shop will be open when the exhibition opens.

My piece is a tiny framed painting of a view through a curving branch in my neighbour’s garden, to a house with a cupola and widow’s walk on Commercial Street in Leith. This building used to back onto the docks, but they have since been filled in and the water is a little further away.

Reality is Not a Fixed Point. (Kaleidoscope Self-Portrait #3)

Posted on October 10, 2016 | Leave a comment

realityisnotafixedpoint

Private collection, London

Oil on canvas, 41cm x 41cm.

The kaleidoscope self-portraits investigate the way my own self-image has developed from reflections and distortions, focusing on specific body parts such as breasts, hips and face. A glanced reflection in a shop window, an image reflected in the eyes of another, a view of myself through the lens of body-shaming media culture, images coloured by emotions and contradictory evaluations- these are all ways that my body is reflected back to me. These paintings, as well as being a poetic representation of these reflections, are also a way to take back control of the portrayal of my own body, and revel in the power of being my own muse.

Ben, from Can’t See the Forest

Posted on August 24, 2016 | Leave a comment

Ben-Can't_See_the_Forest

40cm x 30cm. Oil on canvas.

The paintings in Can’t See the Forest are an extension of my Symbiont series; portraits of people merging with trees. The Symbionts are inspired by the cracks in the pavement where trees take root, in the decay and rebirth of the world. They emphasize our interconnectedness with the other living things that make up our planet, and highlight the decisions we need to make if we are to survive as a species.

Can’t See the Forest is comprised of fifteen paintings of varying sizes, which when hung together combine to create a forest scene. Each painting can be viewed either separately or in combination with its companions. Only by viewing them together can one see the whole picture, but only by viewing them separately can one appreciate each individual personality.
