DREAM BIG.

Make it stand out.

“CREATE TO REBEL, TO BE EMPOWERED, TO BE PART OF SOMETHING BIGGER THAN YOURSELF. ”

- Ben Allen

WHO AM I ?

Ben’s paintings, murals and screen prints occupy a space between street art, graffiti, abstraction, graphic design, pop culture, modernism and comic strips. It’s an oeuvre which is best described as Contemporary Pop Art. Using a range of materials including acrylic, household paints, spray paint, screen printing, markers, comic books, digital print, billboard papers and US currency, he makes diverse, intuitive and boldly subversive imagery.

Ben’s work is built on a foundation of experience, freedom of thought, experimentation and an ‘emotional synesthesia’. Music is vital to the creative process and the vibrant colours and abstracted forms of his evocative paintings.

The way he feels is reflected in each brush stroke, splatter or sprayed form, and these actions become an unselfconscious monitor of his mood and energy. Despite this intensity, the finished result is always considered and Ben will work on a number of canvases at any one time, moving between them, adding layers and references until he finds a resolution.

Ben has worked on a range of bespoke interior design projects from the UK to India and his artwork has been used by a wide following of clients and high-end brands including N.M.E. Magazine, Vans, Converse, Amy Winehouse Foundation, Levis, Virgin, Jamie Oliver, Channel 5, Nokia, Estrella Galicia and Subliminal Records.

MAKE A STATEMENT

Ben Allen is a contemporary artist from the UK whose work has made a significant impact on the contemporary art scene. His paintings and murals, which are deeply rooted in the cultural and social landscape of the cities in which he creates, have earned him a reputation as one of the most exciting and innovative artists of his generation.

One of the most striking things about Allen's work is the way he blends traditional graffiti techniques with contemporary elements. His use of bold colours and dynamic compositions creating a visual language that is both recognisable and fresh. Allen's work is not just about making a statement, it's about creating a conversation. His art is a call to action, a call to rethink the way we see the world around us.

His paintings are characterised by their use of vivid colours, bold brushstrokes, and abstract forms, which combine to create dynamic and engaging visual experiences. He employs a wide range of hues in his paintings, carefully selecting each one to create a specific emotional response in the viewer. The boldness of the colours used in his work creates a striking contrast, drawing attention to the artwork and making it impossible to ignore.

Another key aspect of Allen's work is its focus on the human experience. He blends abstract and figurative elements to create compositions that are harmonious and engaging. The fluidity of the abstract forms adds a sense of movement to the work, further immersing the viewer in the piece.

These works often depict people and their interactions with each other and their environment. Through these images, Allen explores themes of community, identity, and the human condition, giving voice to the experiences of those who live in the urban landscape. This focus on the human experience makes his work particularly relatable and accessible to viewers, encouraging them to reflect on their own experiences and emotions. Many of his pieces aim to challenge the viewer's perspective on topics such as inequality, poverty, and injustice. Allen's art is not just a visual spectacle, it's a commentary on the state of our world. His work is a reminder that art can be both beautiful and meaningful, that it can inspire us to see the world in a new light.

Born in Brighton, UK, Allen was exposed to the vibrant street art scene from a young age, which would later inform his artistic style. He quickly transitioned to creating large-scale murals and paintings. His work is a blend of graffiti, street art, and pop art, creating a unique visual language that is both bold and accessible. These elements, along with Allen's innovative use of materials, his trade mark colour palette and techniques, have made his work highly collectible and important within the contemporary art world.
