Ben Cabel – WMU Student Exhibit

Artist Statement

To me, the work I make is designed to blend realities and make my work connect to what we call the real world. I take heavy influences from philosophical theories, music, and the cultures of the world. Put together with urban art influences, forms a very free-flowing and mixed-media portfolio. I primarily focus on painting and photography, focusing on colors, patterns, and constant experimentation with the blend between mediums. The subject matter takes the shape of college-like structures, exaggerated figures and poses, with aspects of abstract and surreal put into the backgrounds.
