Cityscapes by Ben Smith 2017
Ben Smith draws and paints the urban fabric of South London, drawing from life and creating paintings in his studio, aiming to portray the repetition and interchangeability of the contemporary cityscape.
The works exhibited at Xavier White’s front room gallery capture a city in flux, caught in the cross currrents of redevelopment, displacement and demolition.
Ben trained at Central Saint Martins in the 1990s. He has exhibited in group shows in Brick Lane, Camber- well and Peckham. This is his first London solo show.

Casino Royale, a james Bond themed party
One of the early themed parties.
Maquerade Ball 2013
With a host of furious fancies
Where of I am commander,
With a burning spear and a horse of air,
To the wilderness I wander.
By a knight of ghosts and shadows
I summoned am to tourney
Ten leagues beyond the wide world's end::
Methinks it is no journey.
Yet will I sing, Any food, any feeding,
Feeding, drink, or clothing;
Come dame or maid, be not afraid,
Poor Tom will injure nothing.
