ABOUT
Ben Sheppee (b.1978, Bristol, UK) is a graphic fine artist based in London whose work explores themes of cultural syncretism and identity. Operating at the intersection of semiotics and expressionism, he creates typographic collages inspired by over 370 alphabets, working across a range of mediums. Through this process, he constructs a form of visual linguistics—an artistic synthesis that not only delves into the aesthetics of language, but also evokes the cultural dialogues that arise when civilizations intersect.
​
In 2003, he founded Lightrhythm Visuals, a pioneering platform that published 240 films by more than 70 artists from five continents. He has lived and worked in California, Japan, and France, and currently works from his studio in London’s Design District.
