Ben Stephenson's artistic practice is characterized by a bold commitment to raw and natural materials, such as earth, pigments, and ceramics. The destabilization of colonial legacies and the deconstruction of voyeuristic tendencies inherent in Western artistic traditions are central to Stephenson's exploration. His multidisciplinary approach, spanning painting, sculpture, and performative installations, serves as a vehicle to question notions of cultural heritage, appropriation, and racial tensions in our increasingly interconnected and globalized society. Stephenson's work is imbued with a nuanced understanding of the complexities of identity and representation. His life and work experiences between Colombia and Mexico have enriched his practice, fostering a deeply rooted curiosity about the intersections of history, memory, and perception. Through a critical lens, he reinterprets historical narratives based on a wide range of sources, including films and photographs, challenging predominant narratives and offering alternative perspectives. Stephenson's recent exhibitions, such as "FAIN" in Mexico City, "Genesis in the Retort" at the Museum of the City of Queretaro (Mexico), and "Frost Sting" at Plan B Galeria, Oaxaca (Mexico), testify to his growing influence in the contemporary art scene. Particularly noteworthy is the recognition awarded by the Mexican Embassy in London, where his sculptural collaboration was awarded first prize at the "Comrades" exhibition of The Koppel Project Exchange in July 2005.

- "Ghost of the Lotus Shoes", Contemporary, Figurative, Porcelain, SculptureBy Irina ZaytcevaLocated in St. Louis, MOIrina Zaytceva was born in Moscow in 1957. She graduated from Moscow Art Institute ( Poljgrapfichesky) with an MFA in book illustration. Having illustrated a number of children books, she found porcelain by chance; a friend had given her a piece of clay, which prompted her to experiment with the new media and fell in love with it. Fine porcelain is a perfect canvas for her drawings, and with the ability to bend her “canvas,” she can add sculptural elements to the picture. Someone called this hybrid media narrative sculpture, a term Irina thinks aptly describes her work. Never formally trained in ceramics, Irina had to invent ways to handle it. Unlike many of her colleagues who paint with oil based colors, she uses water based colors and has developed her own techniques in this media. She does not use casting but hand rolls her vases, cups, and, sculptures. With every piece porcelain yields its secrets to her. Since 1998, Irina resides in USA and presently have her studio near Princeton, New Jersey.
