Beth Carter Figurative Sculptures

British, b. 1968

Beth Carter is a Contemporary artist whose work — which includes sculpture and charcoal drawings — draws from the deep well of mythology. Her winged harpies and minotaurs are updated for the purposes of creating modern allegories so that her efforts to explore the human condition often yield thoughtful marriages of past and present worlds. Carter tells stories primarily through two mediums — her figurative sculptures are typically cast in bronze and she also creates painstakingly detailed works on paper, too. 

Carter began pursuing art relatively early in life. She studied at Bath College and earned her BA in Fine Art from the University of Sunderland in 1995. Carter additionally studied at the Cyprus College of Art and the National Academy of Art in Sofia, Bulgaria. Her first exhibition was the 1995 Northern Graduate Show 95' at the Royal College of Art, London, where she won the top prize. Her continuing artistic studies have taken her to India, Gambia, Mexico, Kenya, New Zealand, Tanzania and Sri Lanka.

Today, Carter is based in Bristol and exhibits throughout the United Kingdom. She is represented by galleries in the UK, America and Belgium, and her drawings and sculptures are held in private collections worldwide and in the permanent collections of the Muskegon Museum of Art and the Musée d’Art Classique de Mougins.

Carter regularly collaborates with other female artists as well. In 2020, six of her sculptures were showcased alongside works by painter Helen Flockhart at Flockhart's "Beasts" exhibition at the Arusha Gallery in Edinburgh. In 2022, Carter and artist Olivia Kemp, known for her large-scale ink drawings, exhibited together at James Freeman Gallery in London.

Located in Utrecht, NL
Bufo Contemporary Bronze Sculpture Nude Boy Marble Stone Male Figure Wim van der Kant (1949, Kampen) is a selftaught artist. Next to his busy profession as a teacher at a high school, he intensively practises his profession as a sculptor. Only when his work would measure up to his own standards, he decided to present it to the rest of the world. In 1995, he exhibited for the first time with Morren Galleries. Van der Kant desires to sculpt young people who still stand uninhibited and curiously in life. The reason he chooses to sculpt boys is, because he is one himself, this way the subject is closer to him. The anatomy of his figures testify of perfectionism. Van der Kant's subjects show similarities with the sculptures from the Greek and Roman antiquity...
