Benjamin Allen

Benjamin Allen is an illustrator whose work explores the realms of fantasy, sci-fi, and horror. With a passion for storytelling, Ben transforms portraits into vivid characters that feel both fantastical and deeply personal. His work invites viewers to dive into worlds where imagination reigns and the boundaries between reality and fantasy fade away.

At the heart of Ben’s creative process is his love of words. Ben often draws inspiration from text, integrating words from magazines, found materials, and even the world around him into his illustrations. Every phrase, sign, or snippet of conversation holds a potential story that Ben weaves into his art, adding layers of meaning to his characters.

Ben has worked as a Workshop Facilitator for a number of projects including our Brent Beyond Studio project, CVAN London and A New Direction’s I Am Festival.
