Ben Young

Who is Ben Young?

Ben Young is an Anglo-American artist based in London.

Young was born in Amersham, England, to an American mother and British father. His work draws in large part from graffiti and art informel to form a social commentary and visual analogue of the breakdown in hierarchies of perception in art, further blurring the perceived boundaries between so-called 'high-art' and more demotic art forms such as street art and graffiti.

Young received his MA Fine Art from Central St Martins in 2007
