Ben Westley Clarke studied at Byam Shaw School of Art, The Slade School of Fine Art and the New York Studio School, before studying at the Royal Drawing School. Before the Drawing Year, Ben’s paintings documented a working-class, Irish pub in Somers Town, with its regular characters and unpredictable goings-on. Since enrolling, Ben has worked towards livelier, more cacophonic images – his interest in social communion and interaction has led him to explore the carnivalesque and the festive. Drawing at Carnivals, Barn Dances and Gay Pride parades, Ben seeks a Rabelaisian image of modern life. Recent shows include “The Cock Tavern Paintings Part 2” at Chalton Gallery and “Grit: 11 Painters” at Mercer Chance, London.
