Guest Artist Ben Duke: A Situaton 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鈥攆rom the fraying of the 鈥渞eal,鈥� 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.
