Simplicity has been the basis of his latest collection, LOVE SEX DEATH: A Story About a Nobody. Singular drip figures flow off of the canvas in the most surreal, yet entirely human shapes, illustrating that the essentials of humanity can be summarized in black and white (with the occasional flurry of red). Ben’s pieces can not be entirely defined as one type of art or be contributed to one culture due to his intuitive eye for the universal idea of colors and their symbolism and remarkable aptitude for combing color and movement to evoke emotion in his viewers.

"Drip painting is nearly a fringe art that borders on the line of brilliance and amateur. On one side you have the self righteous prick that thinks spending 2 seconds splashing paint on a piece of sketch paper is art. On the other you have people like Ben Walker who uses an accessible technique to develop solid images with a great amount of skill. Ben Walker is a Southern California local boy hailing out of Santa Ana. His latest project, LOVE SEX DEATH: A Story About a Nobody is a collection of works that uses drip paint to create images of human figures in naughty, dirty and raunchy poses. There is a great commentary that can be taken out of these paintings about the duality of the human figure being so broken and ’splattered’ matched with the context of the images themselves."
