Contemporary artist Ben Slow is, in his own words, “bringing fine art to the streets.” Slow’s canvas of choice may be the urban exteriors, but his print work allows for a subtlety of expression and an experimentation with style and medium that the street scene precludes. His beautiful portraits tell a story, each one a profound glimpse on the human condition. ‘I Didn’t Mean It Like That’ showcases Slow’s highly skilled and unique style depicting the face of a woman, the print is all about technique, creating a striated surface of graphite etchings, layered against soft, gold leaf. Haunting and breathtakingly beautiful, the print has a delicate antiquated quality, but with a distinctly contemporary, street art edge.
