British Artist

 

Ben Wakeling is a painter with a background in graffiti and street art. His work exists in a space between figuration and abstraction. Figures often exist beneath semi-opaque layers of paint (reminiscent of ‘buffed’ or painted over graffiti) or entangled within webs of gestural marks.

His work is instinctive and deeply personal - rooted in his experience of mental health recovery, both his own and those with whom he works as an art therapist and artist in residence with the NHS.
