Strange Paradise II (Same, Same but Different) | Ben Randall

As a contemporary Australian abstract artist, Sydney-based artist Ben Randall is deeply inspired by the intricate beauty of nature and the complexities of humanity. He endeavours to encapsulate these core themes, using shapes and colours to evoke emotions and provoke contemplation.

Each painting he creates is imbued with personal meaning and emotional depth, yet he is wary of imposing his interpretation onto the viewer. Instead, he aims to provide a canvas for individual reflection and exploration. Ben believes that true artistry lies in the ability to elicit diverse interpretations and resonate uniquely with each observer.

“In essence, my paintings serve as conduits for self-discovery and introspection, inviting viewers to imbue their own experiences and perspectives into the abstract tapestry of colours and forms,” he says.

“Ultimately, I strive to evoke a sense of wonder and curiosity, allowing each new viewer to uncover their own meaning within the layers of my art.”

“Inspired by the lyrics from the Dire Straits song “Brothers In Arms”, this series of three paintings was born.”

“While there is no direct link to the actual meaning of the song, the metaphor I have imposed on the paintings surrounds the uniqueness in all of us.”

“There’s so many different worlds, So many different suns, And we have just one world, But we live in different ones.”
