Degree: BA (Hons) Fine Art
University: Loughborough University
GraduationYear: 2016
Ben Golding is a recent Fine Art Graduate of Loughborough University; living and working in Burton-on-Trent.
His practice encompasses both watercolor and ink drawings as well as large scale cardboard sculptures.
By utilising a combination of detailed lines, dense layers and evocative colours, the artist aims to produce pieces which offer the audience a visual journey through the artwork.
Representational of nothing, interpretable as anything; his creations provide a unique experience for all who view them.
For Benjamin personally the pieces he created act as visual diaries. Each shard placed or line drawn signified a movement in time, simultaneously distinct and indivisible, a unique event in its own right but equally; just a fraction of a much larger narrative. Thus, the artwork feels like photographs and in a larger way, like a scrapbook; movements to the memories one can never remember.
