About the Item

Drawing on a wealth of resources, Benjamin Risk invites you to join an adventure of unconscious thought and imagination where everything seems familiar, yet surreal. With his work, Risk carefully and delicately allows you to view the stain of a presence, in which the subjects are warped by the scene, rather than governing it. Whilst the images Ben creates always reference the real world there seems to be a constant shifting between the real and the imaginary; we are given glimpses into somewhere distinctly other. It is this blurring of the lines that draws us in and makes Ben’s work so enticing.
