Ben Ashton’s “To Our Glorious Future” at Roq La Rue.
Opening on July 9th, 2021 at Roq La Rue Gallery in Seattle, Washington is artist Ben Ashton’s solo exhibition, “To Our Glorious Future.”
Ashton’s work delves into the myths, lies and confabulations of class, supremacy, and the weaponization of nostalgia. Skewering the concept of aristocracy via the swagger portraits of Empire, his work also evokes a dark hallucinogenic beauty that entices the viewer in. Running the gamut from ethereally delicate to brutally grotesque, the work is always mesmerizing.
