Ben’s art is inherently human, focussing on body, emotions and connections. It represents the comings together of skilled conventional technique and innovative artistic approaches. Ben's work provokes and records interactions with its viewership, challenging the traditional role of the Art Object. Ben values the utility of humour, and often uses it to frame his work.
Born in Cardiff in 1973, Ben achieved Art A-Level and studied Art History during his time as an undergraduate at Cambridge University. After graduating, Ben spent 25 years working with adults and children with additional needs. In September 2019 Ben returned his focus to art and began studying Fine Art at Stroud School of Art, graduating with a Fine Art degree from the University of Gloucestershire in 2023. Ben's art work has featured in various exhibitions and collections.
