Beth Simcock, recent graduate of The Ruskin School of Art, University of Oxford, presents a series of large-scale paintings entitled The Zodiac.<\/em><\/h4>\n

Beth Simcock is a painter and writer working across large-scale narrative paintings. Her practice is devoted to mythologies, both self-created and borrowed: from classics, art history, contemporary popular culture, and the online world. <\/span><\/p>\n

Blushing girl-ish figures inhabit her landscapes-between-states. Fragments translated from ancient frescoes are painted over with beer cans and sweet wrappers, and decorated with glittery stickers to create colourful tapestries of parable and memory.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Zodiac<\/span><\/i> is a painting installation that spans twelve canvases: one for each sign in the astrological calendar. Each painting holds its own internal logic while also referencing the larger connection to its network of neighbours. The canvases span the space in a configuration that might just be accidental, evoking the almost-infinite squares of the Instagram grid. Together, these uneasy constellations suggest the brooding possibility of change.<\/span><\/p>\n
