Blood Moon
Gabriele Beveridge
Info: The work of London-based artist Gabriele Beveridge (b. Hong Kong, 1985) is built through a language of subtle evocation, articulated most tellingly through a sculptural practice that employs a diverse range of materials, from the readymade to the naturally occurring. Absorbing the urban environment in which she moves and interrogating the materials that define its contours, Beveridge combines conventional display methods such as shelving systems and racks with organic shapes, reinventing their material ontology. Engaged through a dialogue that is as poetic as it is provocative, her treatment of object and material at once upends their commercial purpose. Such is the affective vocabulary of Beveridge’s work, and with her most recent sculptures presented for the first time in the exhibition Blood Moon, her materials begin to talk back.
