French artist Benjamin Vautier also know as Ben was a founding member of Fluxus in the early 1960s. Grounded on the idea that art must shock its audience, Ben is most recognized for his text-based paintings in which short phrases are handwritten against solid backgrounds. At once humorous and thought-provoking, the texts are often written as commentaries or as instructions for the public to follow.
