A note from Ben:

The very first record I ever bought was The Works by Queen. I was seven, completely obsessed with “Radio Ga Ga”—especially the clapping bit. I picked it up from Midland Educational in Birmingham City Centre while my dad bought The Riddle by Nik Kershaw.

Fast forward to my teenage years, and I grew a little embarrassed to admit I loved Queen.

Years later, when I began painting again in my late twenties, I realised most of my canvases came from The Works. And just like with Queen, I felt that same twinge of embarrassment. Not anymore.

The Works at General Practice brings together almost all of my paintings made on canvases from The Works, alongside a new painting/sculpture celebrating my love of Queen (mainly Brian May’s guitar and Freddie Mercury’s moustache, if I’m honest) and their iconic album The Works.
