About


Ben is a multi-disciplinary artist and writer living in Toronto, Canada. Through his work, he seeks to understand the relationship between place and identity through compassionate explorations of grief, alienation, and neurodivergence. His art employs multiple approaches, while thematically exploring the role of narrative in the construction of the physical and emotional spaces of our lives. 

Grounded, in part through his experience of mental illness and disability, as well as his lineage from Holocaust survivors, his practice is defined by a need to express, direct, and come into dialogue with histories of trauma, emotional struggle, and environmental precarity. Through his art, he examines notions of despair, love, and mythology, ultimately providing a visual language that gives meaningful expression to the difficulties we face as human beings.
