Dawn Beckles

Dawn Beckles’ interpretation of the classic still life is unparalleled in her use of vibrant colour and contemporary settings depicted alongside her reoccurring subject matter, the exotic flora inspired by her native Barbados. A mixed media artist specializing in painting, collage and printing, Dawn frequently parallels found images of man-made beauty with those of the natural world. It is in Dawn’s painting that one will find high fashion, bespoke interiors and objets d’art elegantly juxtaposed with orchids, birds of paradise and livistona painted from her private collection.
The philosophy underlying Dawn’s body of work is to celebrate the intimate relationship between an item and its owner by illuminating the context in which it is presented. Her process, whether constructing an elaborately furnished roomscape or the study of an austere clay pot draped with crocosmia, requires the layout to evolve intuitively before applying her extensive technical skill and range to bring her vision for each work of art to fruition.
Dawn Beckles is currently a Londoner by ways of Barbados and Northern England. She graduated with a BA Design from the John Cass School of Art

Lexi Sun

 

我的作品灵感是来自于我对于氛围的体验 将节奏与重复作为我作品实践的根茎,将装置、表演、动态影像与声音的氛围相结合融入在我按下快门的瞬间。作品的根源在于我对重复的折叠、展开、再折叠过程的节奏,这本身就是无限的。同时我的作品通过审视时尚和艺术之间的界限,探索了过期和消失的可能性,并帮助我们理解彼此和我们自己。”

“人的情感变化多端,像天上流动的云、树丛间躲闪的太阳,伤心是一头雨中奔跑的猪,愤怒是一匹呼啸的老虎。我把所有的情感画成妖怪,记录在纸上,他们就被固定下来,变成一只只有形的、含义丰富的活标本。”
