Guest Artist Ben Duke: A Situation of Meanings

Artist's Statement: In my art I seek to reflect on the multifaceted reality of our existence, where dramatic events and the tranquility of everyday moments coexist within the same frame. In this collection I seek to reflect on the tensions that define our lives, or at least share those that seem to define my own—from the fraying of the “real,” laughter amidst the ordinary, and companionship amidst the chaos. These individual narratives unfold against the backdrop of larger events. Through the interplay of light and dark, the vibrant and the subdued, these paintings acknowledge both the heroism found in a commitment to daily resilience and the profound impact of unexpected events. Each piece is a contemplation on the human spirit, its strength, vulnerability, and its remarkable ability to find balance amidst the contrasting forces that shape our world.
