Ben Rousseau

Ben Rousseau, an award-winning lighting artist and designer based in Hove, England, breaks
tradition with a futuristic vision inspired by films like Blade Runner and James Bond sets.
Since founding his studio in 2001, Ben seamlessly blends cutting-edge manufacturing with
hand applied detailing, resulting in a unique collection exploring the emotional interplay of
material, light, and form.
His portfolio reflects a passion for the human form, exotic vehicles, pop culture and a
connection to the events industry and dance music. Ben's creations, adorned with opulent
materials like Gold Leaf and black glass, capture subjects in low-level lighting situations,
drawing inspiration from black and white photography's simplicity.
Under his POP Art collection, Ben infuses the spirit of the Rave Generation, creating works
that resonate with contemporary culture. From prestigious installations at London's V&A
museum to projects in the Swedish arctic for Ice Hotel Sweden and the Nevada desert's
Burning Man, Ben seamlessly transitions from large-scale to accessible works for modern
living spaces.
Every piece renders a calculated precision in terms of both form and creative language that
give each creation a unique yet highly engineered and timeless quality.
Now, anticipating his debut collection at The Brighton Box Gallery on the south coast of
England, Ben Rousseau invites you to witness a visual odyssey where creativity knows no
bounds—a celebration of imagination and craftsmanship shaping the future of artistic
expression.
