Ben Slow is a British artist, based in Copenhagen, who emerged through the UK street art scene of the late 2000s. Now, Slow creates stylised abstract portraits which draw on his own life experience.
Slow’s art has evolved many times over the years, from a graphic design and fine art background, to the successful street art career that took him around the world. Slow’s travels have always provided inspiration for his art, whether via depicting characters he meets, ephemera he collects, or the colours, sounds and smells of a place.
In his practice, Slow navigates the space between order and chaos, using an array of materials to strike his signature balance between abstract and figurative art.
