Introduction
This catalogue accompanies the Ben Payne solo exhibition at Heartbeat Gallery which includes a se-
lection of 18 brand new original paintings that Ben has produced specially for Heartbeat.
The exhibition reflects the artist’s development of his escapist landscape scenes which he has been cre-
ating over the last 10 years and explores a new area of interest for Ben, abstract floral paintings.
This collection reveals the artist’s passion for his uplifting subject matter through the unique and beauti-
ful technique showcased.
The catalogue includes all paintings featured in the exhibition. If you are interested in acquiring work
we are open Tuesday to Saturday 11am until 6pm. For any enquiries please give us an email or call
us on +44 (0)750 360 1849. We accept cash or cheque.

Biography
Ben has been painting all his life and is largely self-
taught, but he learned a great deal as he grew up,
from his artist mother.
After studying at school in Wimbledon, London, he
went on to pursue other avenues of interest, but al-
ways continued to paint for pleasure. Graduating in
Psychology, he then trained as a Behavioural Thera-
pist, specialising in work with young children with
Autism, which he believes taught him to value sim-
plicity and to communicate in a very direct and ac-
cessible language. It has been described that his
paintings 'display a certain innocence which set
them apart from the work of his contemporaries',
which Ben certainly attributes to this background.
In 2003, as interest in his style of work grew, Ben
turned what had been a lifetime's hobby into a flour-
ishing career, selling work instantly with one of the
country's leading fine art galleries. Since then, he
has enjoyed successful solo shows throughout the
UK and sell-out publications of his limited edition
prints of his widely recognised escapist landscapes.
His new abstract floral work is an addition to his
portfolio and the result of a natural creative develop-
ment, as Ben continues to challenge himself and
push his own artistic boundaries. His loose and fluid
techniques create bursts of vibrant colour, and cap-
ture the uplifting nature of his subject to produce
bold and beautiful original paintings.
