About

Ben Bauman is an artist based in Brooklyn, New York. His work includes murals, abstract painting, and drawing.

Born in Minneapolis, he was raised in Madison and Philadelphia and spent six years of his childhood in Indonesia. He received a BFA in Painting from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2008 and spent his early adult years in Chicago before moving to New York in 2019. He is happily married and has two sons.

Alongside his studio practice, Bauman works in data. He holds an MA in Geography from Northeastern Illinois University and has spent more than a decade in financial services, building data pipelines and analytics.

The common thread across his work is visual communication: making complex ideas clear and immediate.
