Ben O’Carroll

Born in Wolverhampton, Ben O’Carroll discovered a fascination with letterforms at an early age, captivated by how graffiti artists could bend and manipulate letters into images rather than words. That passion evolved into a career as a tattooer, where he mastered a wide range of lettering styles. His enduring obsession with blackletter gothic forms drew him into their history, rhythm, and discipline, laying the foundation for a practice defined by both reverence and reinvention.

The discovery of calligraffiti marked a pivotal moment. Painting became the natural extension of his work, allowing him to merge traditional techniques with contemporary expression. By deconstructing and reimagining classical letterforms, Ben transforms letters into living, visual rhythms. His canvases and murals bridge the gap between ancient craft and modern energy, inviting viewers to experience language as form, movement, and emotion.
