Benjamin
Brown came from the east and at a young age headed west in>
search of his fortune, learning many valuable lessons the
hard way on his road to the promised land. Benjamin’s
obsessive nature lends itself to an intense immersion in
his subject matter. In 1998 he was introduced to glass, and
a fascination with the molten material captivated him. He
integrated steel and other media into his work to escape
stagnation in the single medium, and explores in sculpture
the inherent and individual qualities of the materials he
employs. In 2007 Ben graduated with distinction from The
California College of the Arts in Oakland, California, where
he currently resides with his family. He has shown at galleries
in Oakland, CA and Eugene, OR and has work in a private collection
in San Francisco.
