Join artist Ben Youdan in conversation to find out more about his process of creating art.

Ben Youdan is a visual artist based in Liverpool, U.K. His mixed media work employs a wide variety of techniques and processes including collage, drawing, painting, printmaking and photography, to create imagery that takes inspiration from the iconography and ephemera of popular culture. His pieces explore themes such as identity, glamour and sexuality.

His recent work has an aesthetic style inspired by post-modern philosophy and taking inspiration from punk and anti-establishment imagery. By juxtaposing seemingly disparate elements, the work attempts to create a new visual language that explores queer identity, diversity and individualism as well as appropriation of space particularly in an urban context. It is intended to be celebratory in tone and contain a sex-positive message, taking inspiration from a variety of sub-cultures as well as referencing traditions of western art practice.

His work is a handmade product of the digital age and a comment on the human condition in the context of the new media landscape.

He has exhibited extensively in the UK, Europe and the United States and has work in public and private collections all over the world.
