Past Show
If The World Made Sense
by Ben Ashton-Bell
13 Apr – 26 May, 2012

Ben Ashton-Bell's If the World Made Sense presents a body of work
that shows Ben's exponential growth and development into his visual style. Used as an opportunity to create pure hand-crafted pieces, the work has been created using a combination of pencil, airbrush, gauche and watercolour to achieve the desired effect.
Through his work, Ben explores themes of humanity and nature.
The concept behind If the World Made Sense is propelled by the chaos of our world, touching on the sometimes senseless act of humans destroying whats around them. The exhibition examines a futuristic fictional world, exploring the remnants of war and the evolution of nature taking back its rightful place.
In addition to his practice as an illustrator, Ben continues to design, freelancing at studios around Melbourne and for himself. In which he has gained some solid local and international clients. His contribution to the most recent James Squire range with studio DiDonato, won an award for best packaging at the MADC awards.
