Anna Zorina Gallery is pleased to present Ben Crase’s American solo debut exhibition, Smoke On The River. The exhibition title is drawn from the artist’s fond memories of floating on the river every summer with his dad. His late father would be guiding the boat, oars in hand and cigarette in mouth. While initial interpretation of the title may stir alarm, for the artist, it invokes a sense of nostalgia and tranquility. This upending of expectations is at the heart of Crase’s artistic vision, intending to challenge the common perceptions and narratives associated with the American West.
