Emma Ruth Rundle Painting

Ben Johnson is an oil painter working from a studio based in Leeds West Yorkshire UK. After receiving a first at university for a dissertation on the philosophy of existentialism in relation to Alberto Giacometti - I rented a studio, teaching myself how to paint over 15 years; while working in adult mental health for the NHS. Co-curated an exhibition at Dean Clough gallery in Halifax - just before the pandemic. I also work as a counsellor and in a survivor led crisis house. I train as a psychotherapist on a post-grad. Happy to arrange studio visits and open to commissions. Work from life and photos. Portraits and metaphysical dream-like imagery. Had a solo exhibition in August 2023 which received great feedback from the public. Working towards another exhibition for this year.
