Guest Curator Ben Svenson from De Salis Wines

This month, we’re excited to welcome Ben Svenson from our wonderful sponsors, De Salis Wines, as our guest curator!

Ben has a keen eye for art, and he’s selected six stunning pieces from our current exhibition, Inside This Box, as his personal favourites. With a love for both realism and quirkiness, his picks reflect his appreciation for detail, storytelling, and the unexpected.

If you’ve ever visited De Salis Wines, you’ll know that Ben and his brother Mitch bring the same passion to winemaking—crafting elegant, character-filled wines that surprise and delight. His choices in art are no different.

Curious to see what caught his eye? Stop by the gallery and take a look at Ben’s handpicked selections or shop the favourite six below.
