By combining abstract patterns and realism, his work aims to encourage the viewers of his large-scale collage murals to look closer at the world around them.
“The piece of work which I believe has had the most impact on the public this year is my latest large-scale mural on the Jersey Oak building on Seale Street. The mural was received so well by everyone.”

“On reflection, I realised how important and timely this mural was, not just to bring colour to St. Helier, but also nature, as it features a forest and local flora and fauna. Also, for the islanders to see a positive project and be able to interact with it from street-level became apparent as the mural neared completion.”
Ben explained the long process of creating the mural, explaining: “This mural took around two months to complete, from scaffolding at first, then ladders, using a mix of spray paint and masonry paint.”
