Ben Zo

Ben Zo is a contemporary visual artist whose innovative approach bridges the worlds of abstract expressionism and urban street art. Born in Chicago in 1989, Ben grew up immersed in the city’s vibrant art scene, drawing inspiration from both the architectural rhythm of his surroundings and the diverse voices that color the city’s neighborhoods. After attending the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, he began experimenting with mixed media, merging bold graffiti techniques with traditional painting.

Ben’s work is recognized for its energetic compositions, layered textures, and striking use of color, which together evoke themes of memory, transformation, and urban identity. His distinctive style has been exhibited in galleries across the United States and Europe, as well as featured in public mural projects. Beyond his studio practice, Ben Zo takes an active role in community outreach, collaborating with local youth to foster creativity and self-expression through art.

As his career continues to develop, Ben remains committed to both pushing the boundaries of his medium and making art an accessible force for positive change.
