“Duke’s canvases are energetic and chaotic; he is unafraid of scale, lush surface, high contrast, saturated color, unstable angularity, exaggerated gesture and any of a number of devices that may make a self conscious, defensive painter squeamish. This exuberance is girded by masterful drawing, seemingly effortless mark and convincing picture structure; Mr. Duke applies his craft with conviction, enthusiasm and without apology.” – David Page, 2012 Open Exhibition Juror of Virginia Torpedo Factory Art Center

The Delaware Center for Contemporary Art is very happy to present Thresholds, a retrospective of Benjamin Duke’s high energy art work. Please see website for additional information.
