Beth Neal
Beth exhibits widely with paintings held in private collections in the UK and overseas. She is an Alumni of West Dean College Chichester.
Studying and working at West Dean inspired and influenced Beth to develop and transition her work into a surreal and imaginative genre. Influenced by the work of artists Charlotte Solomon, Miro, Picasso, and Leonora Carrington, Beth's work has taken a new and exciting direction, creating surprising thrilling and intriguing images. Motivated by her imagination and memories, which play a major part in her work and approach to design and content, a wonderful fusion of colours and images are seen.
Whilst studying at West Dean Beth visited Addenbrooke's Hospital to watch a Prostatectomy operation. Drawings and notes were made followed by a book of watercolour, charcoal and pencil drawings which was exhibited at West Dean and at The Embassy Tea Gallery in London. Beth recently worked as Artist in Residence at a Cambridge School, The Marquee Burwash, Paintings on the Green Barton.
For this exhibition Beth's works relate in a Surreal portrayal of women ,seen through her imaginative sense and imaginative paintings. She picks up a brush and the painting emerges. The painting is telling Beth a story as she paints.It is quite a surreal experience for her, if something or someone doesn't want to be in the painting it wont be there. Painting and drawing is me.
