Works by Jumper Maybach
Jumper Maybach (born Ben Workman; 1963) is an American artist. Having suffered decades of emotional abuse and being marginalized for his sexual orientation, he finds himself on the brink of an emotional precipice from which the artist Jumper Maybach steps forward and becomes instrumental and vital to Ben’s healing process.
Jumper’s hope is that his abstract way of seeing love, acceptance and freedom resonates whether you have walked a similar life path to Ben or not.
Ben believes it is a person’s traumas that define the individual. Through Jumper he releases his joy as well as his pain into his artwork, thus becoming the storyteller of the creation. The art is a constant evolution of color and complete abandonment of the paint. The complexity of the abstract style comes from deep within.Jumper Maybach’s art is about turning darkness into light.
Not long after Jumper began his career as an artist, he started to receive national and international recognition for his work. In 2013, Jumper Maybach held his first gallery show, which ultimately led to an invite to attend Art Dubai 2013, UAE as a VIP guest. Jumper exhibited in Dubai, UAE, in 2015 and in 2017 at the prestigious ALLIANCE FRANÇAISE. It was there that the Artist received a documentary film opportunity and was dubbed the Jackson Pollock of the 21st century.
Shortly after visiting Dubai, UAE, Jumper had the opportunity to exhibit 39 large-scale works of art in Venice, Italy, his largest exhibition to date. He created and curated a Venice series specifically for the show which also included a screening of the trailer to his documentary “The Jumper Maybach Story”. Another momentous moment occurred when Jumper was invited to exhibit his art at the Gallerie Du Louvre in Paris, France.
