AN ALCHEMY OF RAW METALS
Bronze, copper, iron, silver and gold combine with shellacs, polishes, inks and washes in a light-responsive finish. Contained abstract geometry suggests planets, cityscapes, field patterns, rock-strata, the view through a microscope. Slow change over time and tipping-points.
Ben’s mind is as mercurial as his materials: explore the creative journey.

Heart Research Auction
Each year artists and celebrities are invited to donate postcard-sized original artworks for the Heart Research charity auction. Paintings are listed anonymously: you don't know who you've bid on until the auction closes.. Last year 'Rhythmia' (shown right) was among the top 20 highest bids out of 466 lots, raising £255.. Can we beat that this year?
