“Through my paintings and prints, all aspects of the human
condition find a place and I want people to be able to relate by looking and
finding something familiar within the abstracted marks and brightly coloured,
graphical imagery. I am motivated by the fact that people respond to different
images in their own, very personal way and that response can change over time,
depending on mood and circumstance. I am also interested in the effect the work
has on people’s response to the world around them. I am fascinated by the idea
that art can fundamentally impact consciousness, and I make work to exploit
this very human sensitivity.” -Ben Allen
