Rosemary P Miller Gallery

Present by Ben Pines

On display starting September 5, 2025

About the Exhibition:
Present offers an opportunity to sink into the practice of mindfulness through the act of viewing art. Ben Pines’ aims to explore the relationship between external input and internal dialogue in several ways. His new body of work features one consistent subject in an effort to encourage an imaginative conversation between them and the viewer. By paying careful attention to the appearance of objects and views in each of his works, Pines creates a world in which the viewer can lose themselves while also picking up on the background emotions present in each of the paintings’ creation. Also on display are several of Pines’ atmospheric explorations of the skies of Bloomington and a series of paintings based on the artist’s travels in Ireland.
