Live Painting at Sporting Events
Ben's live painting performances at sporting events have taken place at some of the most prestigious venues and occasions in the world. He has painted live at the FA Cup Final at Wembley Stadium, the UEFA Champions League Final (Real Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund), the Paris 2024 Olympic Games at Team GB House, and the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games on Carnaby Street. He has also painted at the Cheltenham Gold Cup, the Emirates Dubai Desert Classic, Meydan Racecourse in Dubai, and across the 2025 British & Irish Lions Tour in Australia.
Corporate & Brand Live Painting
For corporate clients, Ben's live painting acts as a high-impact centrepiece — a piece of bespoke art created in front of guests during the event itself. He has painted live for Porsche, McDonald's (during the FIFA World Cup), Tag Heuer, Trivandi, at the World Expo in Japan, and at Kensington Palace. The resulting artwork becomes a talking point, a lasting record of the occasion, and a press asset for the hosting brand.
Live Painting for Charity
Over two decades of live painting, Ben's performances have helped raise nearly £3 million for charitable causes. Organisations he has supported include Marie Curie, DEBRA, Muscular Dystrophy UK, the Alan Shearer Foundation, the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation, the Matt Hampson Foundation and many others. Each live painting is completed within the event and auctioned or presented on the night — creating a uniquely compelling fundraising moment.
