BEN
GOYMOUR
BRITISH CONTEMPORARY ARTIST
Every work begins with a reason to paint it
Through large-scale painting and mixed media, British contemporary artist Ben Goymour explores identity, character and the space between what we see and what we believe we understand.
Ben's work isn't defined by a single subject or genre. People, places, objects and ideas may all become part of the journey.
What matters is why they are there
Ben Goymour’s route into art was anything but conventional.
Joining the British Army at sixteen, he went on to serve with 29 Commando Regiment Royal Artillery, including deployment to Afghanistan as a young Section Commander.
Art came much later. In 2017, following a hiking trip to the Lake District, Ben picked up a paintbrush for the first time, hoping to recreate something of the rare sense of freedom he had found there from the noise of PTSD.
What began as an attempt to capture a feeling rather than simply a landscape became something far more significant. Through painting, Ben discovered focus, stillness and a way of quietening the noise.
His early work was rooted in landscape, but as his practice evolved, his attention increasingly turned towards people. Today, Ben’s work is predominantly figurative, exploring character, identity and the stories held within the people he paints.........
THE ARTIST
AN UNCONVENTIONAL PATH TO ART
ORIGINAL CONTEMPORARY ART
Discover a selection of original contemporary paintings by British artist Ben Goymour. Each is a one-off work, created through layers of paint, expressive marks and mixed media, bringing depth, texture and a strong physical presence to each piece.
Alongside his larger paintings, Ben creates original studies and works on paper as part of his development of new work. These preparatory pieces capture ideas, compositions and details as they evolve, offering an insight into the process behind each finished painting.
Original paintings, studies and works on paper are released as they become available.

FROM THE STUDIO
SUPPORTING OUR VETERANS
Ben’s military background remains an important part of his story, and supporting the veteran community is something he continues to care deeply about.
Ben supports Phoenix Heroes, an organisation providing practical, direct support to veterans and their families. One of the things he values most about Phoenix Heroes is that they are among the few organisations able to respond quickly and provide immediate help when it is needed most.
Through his art, Ben runs art days for veterans and donates paintings to help support the work Phoenix Heroes do.
