About the Work
Ben’s paintings explore the Australian landscape through abstraction, texture, and tonal layering. Moving beyond soft coastal décor, his artworks focus on earthy, grounded palettes, architectural compositions, and bold, atmospheric movement.
Each painting is carefully constructed with layered pigments, gestural mark-making, and textural techniques that invite close viewing. The result is a tactile, immersive artwork designed to harmonise with modern interiors, warm minimalist homes, or architectural spaces seeking statement pieces with weight and presence.
Art for Interiors and Collectors
Ben creates artworks that suit contemporary living spaces, from horizontal landscapes that dominate lounge walls to sculptural abstract pieces for entryways, dining rooms, and offices.
His work is highly sought after by interior designers and collectors who value large-scale contemporary Australian art, textural statement pieces, and earthy, moody palettes that elevate interiors while retaining artistic integrity.
Exhibitions and Studio Practice
Based in South Australia, Ben works from his studio to produce both original paintings and bespoke commissions for private collectors and interior projects. Each piece is produced with careful attention to texture, colour, and scale, ensuring it makes a strong architectural and emotional impact in the space it inhabits.
