Ben-Christo is a South African born artist with a strong background in the arts, particularly the performing arts. This affinity with movement and dance reflects in his subjects, which are infused with a kinetic energy that brings his work to life.
Ben-Christo has travelled extensively throughout Africa, Europe and the Near East as a portrait and landscape artist developing a unique approach to his preferred mediums of graphite and charcoal. He creates a striking and simple impression of highly defined contrasts. Currently based in the USA, Ben-Christo has exhibited in locations in New York City, Columbus and Cleveland OH.
