Biography
Beth Richardson graduated from the University of Gloucestershire UK with First Class BA (Hons) degree in Painting and Drawing and won the Hans Brinker Award in 2009. Since then she has been a practising artist, working for much of that time in Portugal until her return to Cornwall in 2020. Beth has been represented by Greenstage Gallery since she finished her degree. Her work is in collections all over the world and she regularly exhibits in the UK, Europe, Asia and the USA.
Beth is best known for her large, colourful canvases depicting ordinary objects in largely empty spaces. Her work incorporates paintings and sculptures made in response to the nature and physicality of distinctive, found everyday objects that have ceased to function in their normal way. She is particularly drawn to objects which have a strong visual history and human connotations such as chairs, jugs and baths. Her paintings explore these objects strangely human characteristics, both alone and in relation to each other with the use of ambiguous compositions and skewed perspectives.
Beth's preferred medium is acrylic on canvas. She creates large fields of flat/solid complimentary colours by building up layers of paint, often painting subject matter out until she is happy with the composition.
She cites Giorgio Morandi, Craig Aitchison, Mark Rothko, Barnett Newman and Rachel Whiteread among her artistic influences. It is possible to see where she has drawn inspiration from these artists, but the development in her work is mainly autobiographical, reflecting events in her life.
Artist Statement
“I paint ordinary, everyday objects in large empty spaces and explore the strangely human characteristics the objects reveal both alone and in relation to each other. Compositions are often ambiguous as perspectives are skewed, horizons become tables and domestic interiors merge with the wild natural world. As our perspective is challenged we are tempted to forget what we know and respond to the ordinary in a new way."
