Ask Again Later Collection Poster
Beth Josey is a surreal Australian artist whose exhibition “Ask Again Later” launched July 16th at the Somedays gallery in Surry Hills Sydney.
Creating an intriguing visual tone of textured renderings inspired by artists like Francis bacon and film Directors Tim Burton (Edward Scissorhands, Sleepy Hollow) and Guilermmo Del Toro, (Pan’s Labyrinth, Cronos) Beth’s emotive works make her an up and coming artist to watch on the local and international scene.
From the press release for the show:
“Ask Again Later is the debut solo show of artist Beth Josey. Her ruminations on beauty, insanity and mortality lead the viewer into a strangely familiar, twisted world of staring porcelain-like characters, heartbroken skeletons and masked lords of business.
The body of work takes advantage of the different styles and emotive force of oil, acrylic and print mediums. With a blend of portraiture and surrealism, Beth has created a Gothic aesthetic that envelopes the viewer, exploring the fragmented nature of the individual and the contradictions inherent in all people.”
