Love Mural by Ben Johnston in Dubai

Ben is a multi-disciplinary artist renowned for his bold, text-based works that blur the line between language and image. Originally from South Africa, Ben has spent over 15 years working in the public art space, creating large-scale murals, sculptures, and installations that challenge perception and invite deeper engagement. With a background in both commercial and fine art, his career has taken him across the globe—from India and Serbia to the historic streets of Pompeii—where he has developed a signature approach to three-dimensional typography. Whether through layered murals, sculptural forms, or immersive installations, Ben’s work pushes the boundaries of type, using depth, shadow, and structure to create pieces that are both visually striking and conceptually rich. Constantly evolving, he remains committed to crafting experiences that transform public spaces and spark dialogue.
