Work In Progress: New Parallel - Non Colour

Subtle hints of non-colour added to the New Parallel series. In describing them as non-colour I attempt to remove preconceived references, hence their subtle application to the surface.

Work In Progress: New Parallel

This new series depicts geometric shapes with vertical lines cutting through diagrammatic structures. Progression of these works may include subtle hints of colour.

Studio

A quick snapshot of my studio wall. A lot more work needs to be done, in order to refine these particular drawings / studies.

I'm currently working on a project based on ones mental state while using prescribed medication. I'm hoping to produce a triptych to show the journey.
As I've stated previously the medium that I would constantly turn to when producing work would be photography, however while working on this 'mapping' project I stumbled upon a pen and paper and unconsciously I started to draw.

ARTIST STATEMENT

Beverley Bennett's practice revolves around the act of drawing and the perpetual possibilities it possesses. Acts of play evolve into ritualistic, performative, labour intensive actions that generate a greater understanding of the processes of making, allowing the 'visual' to become secondary. Current works incorporate principles of erasure, memorability and gesture. The use of ‘diagrams’ used by Bennett intensify the sense of a matter of fact and immediate recognition due to the characteristics of geometry used.

Bennett's work has been shown nationally; venues include the Bluecoat, Liverpool (2010) Actions curated by Sonia Boyce, and Global Studio's (2010) and The National Portrait Gallery, London (2009) Hidden Talents.

Bennett is also the founding member of London-based art collective TBC, who self-publish a magazine, 12 Pages, and work on exhibition projects that interrogate individual members’ creative identities and explore the potential of collaborative works.

Beverley Bennett lives and works in London and received her MA in Fine Art in 2009.
