Ben Slow

Ben studied fine art at Kiad, Canterbury. It was during his foundation year at that he really discovered the fun of colour then started splashing and dripping. Texture is vital to his work, building up lots of layers and then scratching them down to draw out colour from depth. Ben describes his work as controlled mess, mainly focusing on people of interest to him including classic characters and people in motion. He has brought life to dullness of grey cities with colour explosions, originally focusing on paste up's he now brings life to buildings with hours of controlled colour explosions. To quote Ben 'I try not to limit myself, I keep on pushing my boundaries exploring the colour, depth and texture'. Ben sees any object as a canvas, any surface that accepts his colour, putting life back into something in the most obscure way.
