Information

Ben Liney is an artist based in Naarm/Melbourne, working on the lands of the Bunurong. He works primarily in oil on canvas, using a restrained palette and detailed brushwork to explore the quiet presence of the landscape.

His focus lies in isolated geological forms, observed closely and painted with sensitivity to texture, light, and structure. Stripped of their surrounding context, these forms become vessels of time, memory, and change.

Liney’s process is grounded in stillness and observation. He is drawn to the way enduring elements of the natural world hold subtle traces of transformation. His work invites viewers into a slower, more attentive way of seeing—one that mirrors the landscape’s quiet persistence and opens space for reflection on our connection to place.

Ben is represented in Sydney by Traffic Jam Galleries.
