“I want my work to leave a legacy. It’s a bit like the Bayeux Tapestry in that I want to tell a story about moments in history that future generations will be able to see.”
Ben is the first artist to create two murals at Wembley Stadium. The ‘History’ mural documents Wembley’s greatest events from when it first opened in 1923 to the present day. Hand-painted directly onto the wall, the mural shows the crowd walking through time, bearing witness to each event that has taken place at the illustrious stadium.
The mural has two sides to it: being part of a collective, tribal family in harmony where you are all together as one and celebrating all the iconic moments which have taken place throughout the years. ’History’ showcases how those two worlds are indelibly intertwined and portrays a message about giving people hope, togetherness and unity.
Ben’s other work alongside Wembley Stadium includes A Tale of Two Wembleys and FA Cup Painting Live.
