This dynamic painting by Salford-based artist Ben Ark, skillfully captures a view of the glass and aluminium clad buildings of Media City in Salford Quays.
Ben Ark is a multi-disciplinary artist who lives and works in Salford, Greater Manchester. His artwork has been exhibited and commissioned throughout the United Kingdom and internationally, from Norway to New York. His nightscapes, cityscapes and urban landscapes have brought him a host of loyal customers, collectors and fans from North West England and beyond. With a growing profile, his artwork is highly collectable. He exhibits and sells his work at numerous galleries across the country, sitting alongside Tom Dodson, Geoffrey Key and L.S. Lowry. His art is regularly influenced by the northern landscape and features the blemished beauty that is often commonplace but frequently overlooked.
Ben’s style deliberately slips from precise photorealistic detail to less defined washes of colour. He uses a balance of detail, symmetry and movement to create artworks largely featuring contemporary landscapes and urban culture in the North West of England.
Whilst his work is often highly representational, made for visual appeal, he aims to encourage thought about the rich and varied life of a city and stimulate conversation about how we exist within, alongside and sometimes in the face of, a landscape and the secrets that it holds.
