So collectible and sought after work of art.
Ben Maile is a 20th-century British painter best known for his realistic depictions, characterized by an atmospheric sense of light, Maile’s paintings incorporates both heavy lines and misty areas of tonal color to produce an effect of realism suspended in a dream-like state. Born in 1922 in United Kingdom, Maile’s works are in the collections of the Mary Rose Museum in Portsmouth, the Cheshire Military Museum in Chester, and the British Postal Museum and Archive in London, among others. The artist lives and works in Ireland.
Ben Maile had his first London Exhibition at Upper Grosvenor Gallery in 1959. He has for many years been one of the top selling artists in the UK and painted in a very personal and distinctive impressionist style. His work is collected around the world and features in the collections of the Royal family, Prime Ministers, a US President and a Sultan.
His family moved to London in 1936 when Ben was fourteen. He joined the RAF, becoming a wireless operator in Bomber Command. He moved to Newquay shortly after 1945 and, self-taught, began painting and exhibiting throughout the West Country. Over time his reputation grew and by 1989 he had an agent in the USA. Ben Maile died in Cornwall in 2017 at the age of 94.
