Hidden Styles

Ben Young’s art captures the raw beauty and fluid motion of water through meticulously crafted glass and concrete sculptures. Raised by the sea and deeply influenced by his background as a boatbuilder, Young’s work reflects his profound connection to the ocean. Each sculpture embodies both the strength and fragility of nature, using layers of glass to create depth and movement, while concrete grounds the pieces in structure and permanence. His ability to translate the ocean’s vastness into tangible form allows collectors to bring the serenity and power of water into their spaces.

Precision & Passion: The Art of Layering 

Ben's creative process is a masterclass in precision. Every sculpture begins with hand-drawn sketches, followed by intricate glass cutting and concrete casting. The layering of glass mimics the movement of water, playing with light and transparency to create immersive, multidimensional compositions. While his work is highly technical, it retains an organic quality, mirroring the ever-changing nature of the sea. The balance between control and spontaneity in his process mirrors the tension between nature’s delicate beauty and its undeniable force.

A Conversation Between Humanity & Nature 

More than aesthetic marvels, Young’s sculptures tell a deeper story about the relationship between people and the environment. The contrast of delicate glass and solid concrete reflects the balance between nature’s resilience and human intervention. His work invites contemplation—how do we shape the world around us, and how does it shape us in return? Whether placed in galleries, homes, or public spaces, Young’s art fosters a profound appreciation for water’s beauty and significance.
