Pushing the boundaries of the Green Art movement, Ben Van Beusekom uses non-traditional materials to tell stories of utter beauty using what in most eyes are perceived as ugly, trash and discarded. 

The Exhibition ran for the month of March at Bloomingdales at the Mall at Millenia in Orlando, Florida.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Born and raised outside Minneapolis, artist Ben Van Beusekom creates art with no limits in response to his own personal feelings and experiences. His studio is his place of freedom, allowing Van Beusekom’s thoughts to wander and see where his next journey takes him. His works of art include sculpture, paintings and fashion. 

The first thing observers notice about his art is that it evokes a senseof fantasy. Van Beusekom tells stories of utter beauty using what most consider dreadful and discarded.

With a focus on color and texture, he constructs wall art, sculptures and masks using only the finest gemstones, beads, Swarovski crystals, sequins, and fabrics. Each is personally applied one crystal, stone and bead at a time. For Van Beusekom, and the results are elegant, unusual, and stunning. 

To commemorate their 150th anniversary, Van Beusekom was commissionedby Bloomingdale’s to create a couture traveling exhibition using their iconic “Big Brown Bag” shopping bags. He was also selected by The Forbes Company/Taubman Centers, Inc., to create a 15-foot statue adorned with Swarovski crystals to commemorate the15-year anniversary of The Mall at Millenia. In 2017, his couture fashions debuted on the runway for L’Oréal Professional’s fashion show in New York City. In 2020, he was approached by the Global Peace Film Festival to debut Bombshell: Masquerading Warfare – a collection of elegantly bejeweled gas masks that evoke a sense of fantasy in a time of pandemic chaos. His work can be found in galleries and boutiques around the country. He draws inspiration from the works of Alexander McQueen and currently resides in Orlando.
