ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Mixed media painting upon stretched canvas that combines oil paint, oil painting medium, gesso and paper collage to tell a story about love, loss and hope. Acrylic gesso was first applied to the blank stretched canvas to create a textural underpainting. On top of this, printed paper was ripped and placed in order to form the poetic text that can be seen throughout the painting. Read from left to right, the text reads as follows: “Welcome in the morning light, it creeps in and steals your dreams. Softly embracing the comfort inside, living the lies that dreams conceive. Welcome in the fresh delight, what was built has washed away. Anxiety comes to reclaim its prize, cold expressions carried by sun rays. Welcome in a guilt worth repeating, that life cannot be lived in dreams. Crimson eyes can dry completely, there's more to life than it seems. Welcome in the morning light, it creeps in and steals your dreams. An empty heart filled with time. No one said this would be easy."

A St. Louis native, Ben's work has been featured locally, throughout various offices and art fairs, as well as internationally, most notably for his cover art published on a re-print of famed Dutch writer Nescio's Titaneller. "I'm a fan of both experimentation and variety. Not surprisingly, my paintings often vary in theme from conceptual and meaningful, to colorful and expressive. I enjoy the discovery part of the creative process and how to communicate and connect with viewers through a visual medium. Often times, when I feel that I've accomplished a form of communication in a particular fashion, I end up challenging myself to find a new way to express an idea or emotion. It's this challenge that keeps me motivated and why I know my passion for artistic expression will always fuel my desire to create."
