Read More“A Change of Heart” is an exhibition all about flowers.

Born in 1975 in the United Kingdom, Becky Beasley lives and works in Hastings, England. While Beasley’s primary media are photography and sculpture, her work is deeply informed by a relationship to language. Aesthetically she engages in a questioning of the relations between hand-made, often wooden, objects and their (re-)presentation as photographs, in which her objects are regularly the subject. Her subject matter is composed of the personal and art historical, often mediated through literary references. Her sculptures have been described as ‘mental objects’, and this intended double meaning ideally suits the precise and playful use of conceptual strategies embedded within intensely assembled objects. Her works perform an incessant questioning of the relations between images and pictorial representations. They are concerned with the Everyday and yet remain resistant to the insistences and limitations of its language.
Becky Beasley has recently presented solo exhibitions at Office Baroque Gallery, Antwerp (2008 and 2010), Stanley Picker Gallery, Kingston (2010) and Laura Bartlett Gallery, London (2009). Her work was included in “The Malady of Writing” at MACBA, Barcelona (2009), “Word Event” at Kunsthalle Basel (2008) and “Slow Movement or: Half and Whole” at Kunsthalle Bern (2009).
Becky Beasley is represented by Laura Bartlett Gallery, London and Francesca Minini, Milan.
