With over 30 years of professional creativity, this solo exhibit by one of London's leading LGBTQ2+ artist - Ben Benedict - calls upon that history as a Bricoleur working in the London Regionalist Tradition. Ben's art is constructed from a wide range of materials; his creativity is informed by Memory, Object Relations Theories, and Structural Linguistics/Semiotics; includes the use of deconstructed materials and narratives; and, with subjects ranging from abstraction, the environment/landscape, to gender/LGBTQ2+ issues – adopting increasingly an activist message. In this, he is applying a critical lens to the language and iconography around a signifier – the Canadian Landscape. By deconstructing those signified concepts, he is challenging the viewers notion of contemporary social constructions around our collective understanding of Landscape in all its iterations consistent with his artistry. Additionally, from this investigation a number of palette paintings - created from the left-over paint of these more major works, having become a critical component of his practice - will form a part of this exploration. The exhibit is accompanied by a critical essay with the focus on provenance and originality. In this case, ‘landscape’ – its history, methodology, and critical understanding of its contemporary use, and how should an artist respond? In taking on this challenge of placing his self and his artwork amongst the history of art making in London, Ontario, Canada, and then exploring that history through his current practice. Ben chose to apply a critical lens to both his practice and the language and iconography around the Canadian Landscape. This exhibition is the summary of that investigation. As such, this critical essay will draw that historical line from Homer Watson, through the Group of Seven, to the London Regionalists, to finally his self – the next in the lineage of London’s Regionalist movement as its champion and current purveyor - developing his own personal form of London’s Regionalism while moving this dialogue forward. Satellite Project Space's Hours are Wednesday to Friday 2 PM - 7 PM, and Saturday 12 PM - 5 PM. There is no cost to attend, Everyone Welcome, All Ages Event.
