Beth Carter is thrilled to be exhibiting new sculpture and drawings in a solo exhibition at Axelle Fine Arts Galerie, Soho, New York.

Having relocated to Brooklyn to prepare for this show, Beth has produced new bronze sculptures that range from life-size figures down to small more intimately scaled pieces which will be shown alongside her new large-scale monochrome charcoal and colour pastel drawings. Serving as a perfect allegory for this powerful new body of work, the title of the exhibition “Dancing with Morpheus” refers to the Greek god of dreams and leader of the Oneiroi (winged spirits of dreams). In her new figures Carter intuitively manifests her fascination with themes of transformation, half-states, hybrids and duality with her characteristic sense of playfulness and foreboding.

Exhibition runs 2nd Nov-1st Dec 2013

“bo.lee gallery considers a fleeting moment between dreaming and waking where reality is suspended between the conscious and the unconscious and sensation is lost to the mind’s perception. Abstracted musings give way to darker forces that threaten to immerse us in unwanted memories; we rally between the dark and light to establish equilibrium and find ourselves doubting that which we know to be true.

Sarah Ball, Beth Carter, Tom Chambers, Patrick Haines, Allan Martin, Anouk Mercier, Gill Rocca, Jane Smith, Erik Sommer, Rachel Ann Stevenson and Sue Williams A’Court come together to examine a dream-like state consumed by fragmented memories. The surreal and the real jostle for pre-eminence as allegory, identity, faith and perception are brought into question and their contrasting sense of self is revealed. Paintings, photography, illustration and sculpture expose a luminous realm that we all must cross…”

“We love the Summer. Every year in July and August we experiment with our curating and for the only exhibition of the year we are themeless. The Summer Salon exhibitions give us the opportunity to try out new artists, new work, new styles, and keep it fast moving. Unlike other exhibitions, if a piece sells then we remove it straight away and replace it with something new. Similarly, we may just decide to randomly introduce new work or another artist. Sometimes this is a straight swap and sometimes it means we end up moving things about and re-hanging the whole show. Playtime for the curators! … So far, Summer Salon 2013 promises to be full of bright colours and high impact aesthetic quality underpinned by layers of ‘thought’. But of course that may change after the first week!”
Please visit the gallery website for more information.

“Bertrand Delacroix Gallery is excited to announce our Summer Collective Show featuring works by Elizabeth Allison, Stéphane Erouane Dumas, Federico Infante, Mark Knoerzer and Beth Carter … BDG will present sculptures by Beth Carter throughout the gallery. Her bronze and resin pieces, heavily inspired by mythology, have been consistently successful and well received.”

For their inaugural London show, bo.lee gallery bring together a selection of gallery and guest artists to create a show that examines the anatomy of nostalgia. “The inner self is brought to the fore for examination as layers of childhood, religion and fable are stripped back to reveal a faded glory with a rose-tinted hue. A potent amalgamation of emotions is adroitly blended in painting, sculpture and photography to inspire the viewer to seek out that which is missing, experience the absence and then to live again.”

bo.lee gallery are now based in London, N1 and viewings are by appointment only. To arrange a viewing please contact Jemma Hickman at jemma@bo-lee.co.uk.
