Though simple in appearance and form, the work of Ben Loiz tells the story of his life—a progression from the layered textures of walls and spray paint of his youth to the geometric forms found in design to the uplifting words of his faith, each part influences and enriches the next. His work that uses language, color, and shape to explore the shared sentiments of life and to communicate meaning in a form that, just like life, takes time and attention to decipher, like solving a puzzle.

Along with solo and group exhibitions in the United States, Ben’s artwork has been exhibited internationally in Canada, Australia, Denmark, Japan, China, Paris, Madrid, and the Netherlands. His paintings and prints are also available through his online shop, Other Things.

Ben also operates a studio where he teams with purposeful clients to reach their business goals through design. He’s worked with brands and institutions like Nike, UCLA, Coca-Cola, Buildbox, the University of Southern California, The Corita Art Center, Aspire Public Schools, St. Vincent’s Medical Center, Neiman Marcus, and the City of Laguna Beach. He has taken speaking engagements at universities, businesses, and conferences, and has facilitated creative learning workshops with youth.
