"Fluttering Canopy" is a contemporary painting that serves as a significant piece within Stephenson's larger series, "Tropical Highway." This particular artwork provides a unique interpretation of the complex interplay between humanity and nature. The painting, as part of the broader series, delves into the intricate relationships that exist between man and the tropical environment. The title, "Fluttering Canopy," suggests a dynamic and lively scene, emphasizing movement within a lush, tropical setting. The imagery evokes a sense of both vibrancy and delicacy, hinting at the nuanced balance between the human presence and the natural world. Stephenson's exploration of the "Tropical Highway" series implies a thematic journey, possibly metaphorical, through the intertwined landscapes of tropical regions and human influence. The use of the word "highway" suggests a path or route, indicating a deliberate exploration or interaction between the two elements. In "Fluttering Canopy," the artist skillfully captures the essence of nature in motion, portraying leaves in movement, perhaps influenced by the wind or other natural forces. This dynamic portrayal may symbolize the constant change and interaction inherent in the delicate dance between humanity and the tropical environment.

Ben Stephenson is a British artist currently living and working in Mexico. His primary medium is painting, although his practice is multidisciplinary and encompasses sculpture, photography and performative installations. Notions of Colonialism and Voyeurism are central themes throughout his work as he investigates the act of looking at/observing the world from a distance and the misinterpretations that entail. For this reason he has traveled from London to work in a different climate and culture with the intentions of absorbing new stimuli as well as reassessing pre-existing ideas of the exotic. Much of the work displayed here is derived from historical narratives, with source imagery in films and photographs being a primary stimulus. Ben has spent the past two years living and working between Colombia and Mexico. His most recent exhibitions include 'FAIN feria' in Monterrey, Mexico, 'Genesis in the Retort' at the Museo de la Ciudad in Queretaro, Mexico, and 'NADA' at Outsiders Gallery in Queretaro, Mexico. He was awarded 1st prize by the Mexican Embassy in London for a collaborative sculpture in the recent Camaradas exhibition at The Koppel Project Exchange in July 2021.
