At

October 1st - November 2nd
Private view:

RVSP: thiswayfuture@gmail.com
As part of Bernie Grant Arts Centre’s ongoing exhibition programme, north London based painter and multimedia artist Ben Summers, presents a new exhibition throughout October. Developed over an entire year, the expanding collection of paintings are created using a collagic approach of gathering subject matter. Sketches of local and wider London life, periodic stills of the seasonal skylines over N15, live sittings with friends & the local community all morph into unique compositions.
The results in this body of work are both fascinating and dreamlike conjuring visions of everyday humanity in a state of flux - uncertain and hopeful in equal measure.
The inspiration ultimately stems from being immersed in both visual and music culture since a teen. After graduating from the Slade School of Art, Ben worked as a DJ for 6 years playing in London’s landmark nightlife institutions and immersing in himself in club culture. This foundation has always provided somewhat of an orbit, whilst navigating the artworld and the inherent political discourse in producing work which is reflective of the times.
