@benashtonart’s outstanding painting ‘Naval Gazng’ [Oil on panel, 32 x 27”] for the upcoming Beautiful Bizarre Magazine exhibition 'Secret Longings' at @coreyhelfordgallery. About the piece: “'Naval Gazing' is part of an ongoing body of work exploring the distorted view the British establishment holds on its imperialist history. In this painting, the distortions that normally only affect the figures in my work have now warped the entire surface of the canvas.” Secret Longings | March 11-April 15, 2023 Opening reception: March 11. 7:00 – 11:00pm Corey Helford Gallery 571 S Anderson St #1, Los Angeles, CA 90033, United States To receive the Collectors Preview, please email Gallery Director Sherri J.

Paintings by Ben Ashton

The subjects staring out from @benashtonart's canvases always seem to be slipping through the sands of time. ⁣ ⁣ This somewhat ghastly suggestion of their fates is exactly what makes each scene so compellingly creepy.⁣ ⁣ The London-based artist achieves this effect by first digitally altering the images that he captures of his muses (and in many cases, himself) before committing them to canvas. He then artfully smears certain parts of the canvas, sometimes even using a very steady finger. ⁣ ⁣ This oil painting is called ‘Leading the Blind’. ⁣ ...⁣ posted on Instagram - https://instagr.am/p/CJqIgfqDCNC/

A recipe of mood. I dare say @benashtonart has captured it perfectly. ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ posted on Instagram - https://instagr.am/p/CDOCaONnh0v/

‘So moving on’ oil on canvas by @benashtonart makes me dizzy with curiosity. Beautiful work! ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ posted on Instagram - https://ift.tt/2sUxqc3
