Beth Carter
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.
