Ben Gray ‘Who Knows Where The Time Goes’

Leaf Blower, 2022, Oil on linen, 40cm x 30cm

Who Knows Where The Time Goes is a solo exhibition by Ben Gray from 2 to 4 December. In this series, Gray presents painting and ceramics, often blending the two. Each component of the work is in conversation with moments in time and the layered legacy of time passed. In Gertrude Stein’s influential text, ‘Composition as Explanation’, published by Hogarth Press in London in 1926, Stein reduces the characteristics of a time to its physical and metaphysical elements. Gray explores the notion that we are the recipients of the layered accumulation of compositions we call history. Bricks layered upon bricks. In his ornamental sculptural clocks, Gray uses high and low cultural references to represent a time and place of ornate ceramics, mass-produced digital electronics, and billboard advertisements.

Join us for drinks at the exhibition opening on Thursday, 1 December from 6:00pm to 8:00pm.

Dates: 2 to 4 December 2022
Hours: Friday to Saturday 12–6pm and Sunday 10am–2pm
