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.

These notions bear comparison to Ben's 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, skateboard culture, surfing, travel, Japanese graphics, typography, nature and the human condition.

His paintings and prints are in private collections worldwide.

My work is representative of taking layers of time, recreating something that you can't have control over, but in a controlled manner. I take all the pieces and make my own world.
