Ben (b.1976) was born in Butte, Montana, a frontier mining town once known as ‘The Richest Hill in the World’ where at the turn of the 19th century prospectors flocked in abundance, attracted by the riches buried in the mountains and the vices lining the streets. The saloons and hotels of Butte form the world of Ben’s paintings and the characters that frequent them his subjects.
His subversive paintings question how we portray this era of modern history. The usual swashbuckling icons of masculinity, pioneering their way through uncharted plains are replaced with the sleepless stares of weary souls, stumbling out of one bar to the next, the dust of destroyed hills settling around their boots.
In addition you can now purchase a custom frame via our website.
These frames finished in Willowtree Green and Moroccan Velvet Burgundy
