Book Challenge Painting

Christine Beard is a figurative contemporary artist. Recently her work has been 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. A self taught, emerging artist, Christine makes use of the watercolour medium. Rather than seeking out unique or original subject matters, Christine aims to avail the mundane and usual in her pieces. She chases after all the magic, light and colour that watercolour paint is capable of providing. Her work offers vibrant colours and strong contrasting tones that will delight any interior designer, decorator or collector. Whether its an interior, or an urban setting or something featuring the sea and a beach, she tries to feature people basked in light and colour. Her pieces aim to be at least the perfect complement to decorate the home and at best a vehicle that evokes memories of way back when for those compiling their own private art collection. Painting people (men, women, children, families, groups of people) is her passion. Capturing them doing something/nothing/anything in that single moment in time is special, she thinks.
