BENJAMIN LATHAM ARTIST RECEPTION
Original Art Exhibition - Here & Elsewhere At Local Nomad
LOCAL NOMAD: HERE & ELSEWHERE
As part of Here & Elsewhere at Local Nomad during Desert Design Week, artist Ben Latham will present a selection of original paintings alongside a curated group of artists and makers.
Benjamin's compositions navigate the intersection of memory and mythology, synthesizing the counter-cultural history of the West with the stark, enduring aesthetic of the high desert.
Known for its emphasis on discovery, independent creatives, and one-of-a-kind pieces, Local Nomad offers a great way to experience Latham’s work in person. Guests are invited to spend the morning exploring his original paintings alongside handmade ceramics, objects, and works from the other participating artists.

BENJAMIN LATHAM
Benjamin Latham is an American painter whose work explores the vernacular culture and shifting landscapes of the South and Southwest. A self-taught artist, Benjamin's practice is rooted in the rich narrative traditions of his Southern origins. He is currently based between Portland, Oregon, and Scottsdale, Arizona.
Benjamin's compositions navigate the intersection of memory and mythology, synthesizing the counter-cultural history of the West with the stark, enduring aesthetic of the high desert. His work interrogates the American West not as a static frontier, but as a living, evolving stage for contemporary stories, balancing the harsh realities of rural isolation with a distinct sense of magical realism.
