BEN STEELE
Tee Time
March 6 - 20, 2026
Artist Reception: Friday, Mar. 6, 4 - 7pm

CODA Gallery is honored to present "Tee Time," a solo exhibition of exciting new paintings by artist Ben Steele. Join us at the opening reception on Friday, March 6, 4 - 7 pm. The exhibition runs through March 20.

An art history buff, Ben Steele imbues in his paintings tongue-in-cheek references to predecessors such as Leonardo da Vinci, Edgar Degas, Marc Chagall, and Jeff Koons. On many occasions, he has melded famed artists — Georges Seurat, Georgia O’Keefe, Henri Matisse, Jackson Pollock, et al. — with crayons.

Ben describes his work as “kind of realist or representational oil paintings, usually with a theme.The subject matter may vary greatly, but it weaves in history and pop culture.”

During the reception, enjoy a wine bar and other beverages, benefiting Angel View, a Coachella Valley nonprofit dedicated to serving children and adults with disabilities.

New artwork from exhibition will be added below when available.
