| Biography Artist Ben Bennink is in love with the Australian coastline. Formerly a world ranked professional longboarder, Ben's muse is his lifetime of appreciation and respect for the ocean and its caprice. Born and raised on the Northern beaches of Sydney. As a child, when not painting surf art murals on his bedroom wall or surfing, Ben would often spend hours, sitting on his favourite rocky outcrop staring out to sea. He carried this reverence for the ocean and it's coastline into his adult years. Ben Bennink currently resides around the Byron Bay - Ballina area of Australia and can regularly be found, either in the surf or watching it in preparation for his next work. "Ben Bennink's work triggers déja vu for those who imagine the sea and intimate responses from those who choose to spend their time there." "Long lines, subtle colours and dramatic moments are the vocabulary of Ben's coastal language." "The cool colours and ocean intrigue of Bennink's work rank him as a leading north coast artist."
