Benny Bing Talks Artistic Process, Representation, and Finding His Voice in the Art World 

I’ve been a fan of today’s guest since 2020, and let me tell you — this interview is everything I’ve been waiting to share. This artist is highly talented and highly sought after —  his work has even been collected by celebrities like Alicia Keys, Dave Chappelle, and The Weeknd. 

Who am I talking about? None other than Benny Bing!

But this conversation isn’t just about Benny’s talent and the art he’s created. It’s also a raw dive into creativity, identity, and the true power of representation in art. 

Unpacking authenticity and representation in art

Benny Bing isn’t just an artist…he’s also a damn good storyteller. He’s building bridges of understanding, challenging perceptions, and celebrating the depth of human experience through his work. 

This episode explores what it looks like when an artist is committed to telling stories that matter, breaking down barriers, and creating space for genuine expression.

In this episode, you’ll hear more about:

• How Benny’s art serves as a profound exploration of black identity, gender, and human complexity
• The importance of finding your unique artistic voice through consistent practice and personal reflection
• Why passion and professional success can absolutely go hand in hand
