Bootleg Toys And Experimental Art - An Interview With Ben Gore

Ben Gore is a multi-disciplinary artist based in Folkestone, Kent, UK. Originally starting his career as a photographer, he has since gone on to experiment with a variety of mediums including sculpture, collage, illustration, and bootleg toys.
Ben’s work is playful and inspired by everything from classic cartoons to futurist science fiction. His work often blends pop culture with traditional art styles, for example his casting of rappers into the characters of the Tarot for his Hip Hop Tarot, or his action figure recreation of the Devoured Son from Goya’s infamous painting Saturn Devouring His Son.
In 2015, he founded a small arts publisher, Blue Monday Press, that he uses to publish and sell his work. He regularly hosts group exhibitions as Blue Monday Press around the country, and aims to use the brand as a platform to help emerging artists get published and exhibited through various collaborative projects he initiates.
