Ben Allen
BENS WORK IS INSPIRED BY 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.
Working in a multitude of media and materials influences include comic book art, skateboard culture, surfing, travel, Japanese graphics, the Mexican festival “Dia de la Muerte”, typography, nature and the human condition.
