Artist Commissions

Liverpool based artist Ben Youdan was commissioned to create a portrait of the iconic Holly Johnson for the exhibition at Museum of Liverpool telling the story of his life.

Like Holly, Ben plays with the iconography of queer fetish scenes in his art, unapologetically celebrating queer culture. His mixed media work employs a wide variety of techniques and processes including collage, drawing, painting, printmaking and photography, to create imagery that takes inspiration from the iconography and ephemera of popular culture. His pieces explore themes such as identity, glamour and sexuality.
