Join Tamara for an interview with Ben Copperwheat, a versatile artist known for his exceptional work in fine art, wearable art, and interior concepts.
His distinctive style is characterized by vibrant colors, bold graphic imagery, and captivating screen prints. His art bursts with a riot of rainbow and neon hues, encompassing a diverse range of motifs and icons that form a unique visual language.
Ben was born in 1975 in Luton, U.K., and received a BA and an MA in the arts before moving to NYC in 2003. He worked as a Print Designer for Calvin Klein for a few years and then freelanced - co-founding an avant-garde menswear line, and working with stylist Patricia Field at events like Berlin Fashion Week and Art Basel Miami. In 2018, he moved here to Savannah and became a Professor of Fibers at SCAD.
