An Invitation to Journey Through Art

ben + JP "Spokane" Grand Collab
 

The Collaboration

"Art adds emotional texture to a dining experience in ways that go beyond decoration. It shapes atmosphere, influences perception, and helps turn a meal into something memorable."

In a first-time collaboration between two distinguished artists in Spokane, this original mixed-media work was created for the opening of Lilac & Pine at the Davenport Grand. The piece weaves together Spokane's most beloved landmarks, events, and stories, connecting every guest, local and visitor alike, to the city they came to experience.

Painter of Place

Ben invites the viewer to transcend their experience of place through a radical new use of structure, form, and elements. While studying fresco, sculpture, and color in Florence, he began his search for a new expressive connection to place, ultimately arriving at a birds-eye vantage point that allows each viewer to recreate all of their memories of a location.
