‘Wonderland’ Paintings by Ben Allen at Microzine December 1 2006 – January 31 2007
Once again Microzine have selected works that fit fairly well into the style of the shop on Bold Street, Liverpool.
Ben Allen is a young artist who paints contemporary images in quite a graphic, illustrative style. There’s iconic pop culture, graffiti and cute characters. Some paintings have the whole lot on a swirly background others are very simple outlines on a plain background.
They are bright and colourful acrylic on canvas mostly with some mixed media. Quite a few have that paint dripping effect which I’m sure I’ve mentioned before I really don’t like (although it does work occasionally) but is so, so popular (still).
All for sale at various prices, there are also some limited edition prints available.
