Ben Kiu's picturesque paintings tell of pioneers in the Wild West. The works immersed in darkness are alarming and mysterious. The unknown land is fraught with surprises, and something suggests that it is better not to expect good from these places. But who stopped it and when? The surname of the American artist is already known to the readers of "Cultural Studies": Ben's brother, the painter Andy Kiu, is famous for his paintings about the good old evil spirits.
Ten years ago, the American artist Ben Kehoe graduated from a university, and far from an institute of arts. Why does the author of paintings need a diploma in public relations, he himself does not know. The artist has now settled in Pittsburgh, where he has been working on his technique for the past couple of years. The result of his work was a series of paintings "The Endless Frontier".
Ben Kiu's picturesque paintings tell about the path of the pioneers, about a new uncomfortable world into which they find themselves. It is no wonder that dark muted tones prevail in these works. Meeting the unknown often scares or confuses people. But new lands beckon and beckon to the road, promising a lot of interesting things.
