Beth Carter 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.

'Danae, ' by ArmanH, Bronze Sculpture
By Arman Hambardzumyan
Located in Oklahoma City, OK
This 20.47" x 9.44" x 10.62" bronze sculpture by Armenian artist, Arman Hambardzumyan, was created in 2013 and depicts the tragedy of the Greek goddess Danae. The artist's interpretation of this classical Greek myth, where an oracle foretold Danae would bear a son who would kill her father, and in an attempt to evade this, Acrisius, her father, imprisoned her. The king of Gods - Zeus, desired Danae and came to her in the form of golden rain. The oracle came true, Danae conceived a son, Perseus, who killed Acrisius by accident. The expressive love between Danae and Zeus is imitated by the naked body of a woman and a golden shower on her body.
"The image of a woman always inspires me in both physical and spiritual beauty. In this sculpture, I tried to express the image of a woman with her soul, which has no smell, taste and is not tangible. The contour of the beautiful shimmering body of a woman allows you to feel the presence of the female soul inside."--ArmanH
Arman is an Armenian artist represented in several major collections around the world including the Terra Garden in Kikinda (Serbia), Contemporary Hall of the National Museum of Fine Arts (Chisinau, Republic of Moldova), Boyajyan Center for the Arts (Prague, Czech Republic), and at private collections in Europe, Asia and in the USA.
This work was exhibited in 2015 in 2015 Myths, Folk Art Museum after Hovhannes Sharambeyan. Yerevan, Armenia. Exhibit coordinator: Armine Beglaryan; and at the Art Expo, New York, April 21-24, 2017, organized by Redwood Art...
