Becky Beasley | Artist Bio and Art for Sale | Artspace

The work of British artist Becky Beasley encompasses a diverse array of medium, everything from photography to lithograph; modernist sculpture to performance is a part of her process. Despite an early interest in found objects, Beasley began to design and fabricate her own renditions around 2004, working to create new understanding of object-hood, especially in relation to historical and literary narrative. Inspired by great literary figures such as William Faulkner, Herman Melville, Bernard Malamud and Thomas Bernhard, Beasley explores notions of death, history, sanctuary and anxiety through referenced and imagined forms.

Beasley’s solo exhibitions include Tate Britain, London and Spike Island Bristol and Leeds Art Gallery, Bristol. Group exhibitions include Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool, Whitechapel Gallery, London, Kunstverein Munich, Museo d’Arte Provincia di Nuoro, Nuoro, Italy, and Kunsthalle Bern, Switzerland.
