Artist Statement:
US based artist 3rd Version, aka Ben Patterson, is a full-time painter who creates surreal worlds that blend highly detailed imaginative imagery with lowbrow art and illustration. The artist coins his signature style “highlow” art, explaining that his aim is to “blend the lines between high realism and lowbrow art” challenging viewers’ expectations through crafted juxtapositions. Each artwork directly influences the next work, which the artist says plays homage to his unique perspective on life. 3rd Version, is a moniker but also a reminder to keep pushing himself and to continually evolve through knowledge, travel, and exploration.

Ben Patterson, working under the moniker 3rd Version, produces imaginative paintings that synthesize high realism with lowbrow illustration techniques from his Colorado studio. Born in Mesa, Arizona in 1982, Patterson developed his "highlow" approach to create cohesive works featuring meticulously rendered animals integrated with graphic, two-dimensional design elements. This method reflects his artistic philosophy centered on contradictions and unexpected juxtapositions. Patterson's career trajectory began with illustration-style characters addressing complex social concepts before shifting toward realistic animal subjects that examine environmental and social issues. At 27, he committed to full-time painting, guided by the principle that each artwork should influence the next creation. His 2022 achievements included producing 57 paintings, exhibiting in over 16 group shows spanning Los Angeles to Philadelphia, and completing a large-scale mural at Fiddler's Green in Colorado. His hand-painted surreal worlds are represented by select galleries across the United States including Abend Gallery.
