Ben Wakeling
Ben produces profound abstract-figurative works that serve as a visceral inquiry into mental health and human vulnerability. His canvases are characterized by a kinetic interplay of charcoal drawing and vivid colour palettes, channeling a raw energy that brings subconscious emotions to the surface.

His art is an intuitive, deeply felt response to the complexities of mental health. It draws directly from his personal recovery and his professional role within the NHS, where he supports others through their own healing journeys as an artist-in-residence and therapist. The resulting work resonates with a powerful, authentic voice serving as a vibrant bridge that heals the past and illuminates a hopeful future for both the artist and the audience.

Coming from a street art background, Ben has always worked on large scale pieces. This new collection marks an exciting evolution into smaller-scale canvases, offering an intimate yet powerful way to anchor your space with a focal point that radiates raw creativity and a profound sense of humanity.
