Benjamin Senior's works are nuanced by everyday observations, yet amplify the numeric and geometric nature of our everyday perception. They capture people at rest and play, distilling dynamic movements into serene, quasi-classical scenes. Senior's tranquil depictions of the habits of health— here, in the setting of a Pilates studio— are based on observational drawing rather than photography. This approach allows for a dreamy vision in which the patterns and geometries of everyday life are foregrounded, from the contours of the body in motion, to the swirling forms of interior design. The title Ball Games alludes to the rhythmic pace of the Pilates students: peaceful yet energetic, much like Senior's work.
