About
Benji Thomas is an East Sussex based artist and writer. He received his BA from Loughborough University in 2018, appearing on Landscape Artist of the Year during his second year of study. He then attended the TURPS Banana Art School in 2020 under the mentorship of contemporary artist Colin Smith, and was awarded the Cass Art Prize by art critic Tabish Khan for his painting.
Relocating to the South coast during the pandemic, he began focusing on luminous nocturnal scenes depicted with coloured pencil, drawing the attention of galleries and collectors. He has since shown his work in exhibitions all across London, with Galleries including Blue Shop Cottage, Liminal, All Mouth and BWG Gallery, and sold to collectors in London, Berlin, Paris, and New York.
