Ben Allen is a self-taught artist.
He has worked with Levis, Virgin, Channel 5, The Hoxton Hotel and has exhibited his mixed content paintings in exclusive venues and galleries internationally as well as selling to celebrities such as Richard Branson.
Ben's work is inspired textures found in everyday life that surround us on the streets and buildings, the rusting metals and corroded weather swept posters of the streets and billboards, the peeling and fading layers that create a new image, unplanned and unpredicted.
These notions bear comparison to Bens working technique, as his works are largely unplanned, he describes his work as a visual ether of thought and suggestion, a silent dialogue of past, present and future.
Working in a multitude of media and materials, some of his influences include comic book art, Japanese graphics, lettering, physical communication, nature and the human condition.
His paintings and prints are in private collections throughout the UK, Australia, New York, Barcelona and Japan. His work has featured in the Observer, Elle Déco and GQ magazines.
