Illustrator/Painter Ben Tour

Ben Tour is a vancouver-based painter and illustrator—who has forged a successful career translating his fascination with human behavior into beautifully dense character portraits.

“I would describe it as a visual diary of characters and personalities,” says the 29-year-old Toronto-born artist, in reference to his work. “My approach is different every time. But yeah, I steal parts of different things and bring them together—interesting people both real and imagined, and animals and objects that they connect with that are visually appealing. I think my most successful work has a definite mystery to it that lets the viewer interpret their own story.”
