Ben Godward, 'shhh! i live here, 2008 mixed media 50" x 45" x 36”
Ben lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. He was born in Indianapolis IN, and holds degrees in art from Alfred University. He has previously shown at SFOS 2007, Moti Hasson Gallery (NYC), and The Sculpture Center (NY).
“My sculptures respond to the slick and saturated media of the world we live in. They are reflections of myself, contradictory and impulsive. Carrying references to food, sex, and toxic sludge in their bright organic formations of foam, they are exacerbations of material excess and imperial gluttony. Pure carnival joy harmonizes unselfconsciously with commodity culture. Their chaotic exuberance demands attention with vigor equal to that of our marketed landscape.”
