Christine Beard is a figurative, contemporary artist based in Sydney, New South Wales. As a watercolourist, she chases after all the magic, light and colour that this medium is capable of providing.
Artworks: 22
Rather than seeking out unique or original subject matters, Christine aims to avail the mundane and the usual in her pieces. Working with a limited palette of 6 watercolours, she favours delivering vibrant colours and strong contrasting tones. She mostly features people drenched in sunlight ideally and basking in light and colour. Painting people is her passion. Capturing them doing something/nothing/anything in that single moment in time is special and Christine thinks that this triggers something in us. It aids us to remember something of our own perhaps or helps us to relate to the feeling it conjures up when we view the piece.
Christine’s work was selected by the prestigious VAN GOGH Art Gallery, Madrid to be included in their public exhibition at the art fair in Milan – (un)fair Milano 2023 (from 3 March to 5 March 2023) and to be included in a collective exhibition available for view at their Madrid Gallery.
