About Ben Risk:
Risk’s work draws upon a wealth of sources; philosophy, poetry, film, travel and daily encounters - translating unconscious thoughts and imagination into paintings. His highly personal, reimagined ‘scapes’ reference the real world, but evoke a dream-like quality rich in narrative and possibility.
