Starting in early 2015 Ben begun a journey painting his way around the Swan River in Perth, Western Australia en Plein air, weather and time permitting, this long-running project will culminate in a publicly available wall installation at an as-yet undisclosed location. Newly finished works will be put into the gallery section, with individual locations marked on the map with a few extra details about the days outing.
Ben Sherar was born in Perth, Western Australia and spent many years travelling around the outback looking at the great scenery this place has to offer, the most formative experience of which was living in the northern Kimberley town of Kununurra for a large part of his childhood which lead him towards his chosen career path. Entirely self taught, Ben's work endeavours to capture his surroundings in a realist manner while still maintaining some painterly aspects to his pieces.
