Kansas City native Ben Timpson has made a splash on the Charleston, SC art scene since his arrival in 2007. His unique process consists of making art from found objects such as flower petals, bug legs, and human hair on tiny slides and blowing them up onto canvases. For his new show, “Around Us,” Timpson has taken his work a step further and is now painting representations of his slides on canvas. Timpson’s work, which has been described as ethereal and haunting, will be on view at SCOOP Studios in Charleston, SC from Nov. 6-Nov. 30.
