Ben Elliott is an artist living in Edinburgh.
His work records the landscapes he roams, the objects he collects, and the novels he reads, to offer reflection on place, memory, and the quiet resonance of everyday experience.
Recent work has drawn upon the Yorkshire Dales of his youth, his collections of ceramics, and his discovery of Lawrence Durrell’s novels. Ben trained at the Edinburgh College of Art and has exhibited at the Royal Scottish Academy.
