Chloe Beddow – MA/MFA

London based artist.

My work is grounded within painting, although I use varying materials and processes to explore time, place and space. My work engages with the politics and poetics of space, how it is both freeing, restrictive and connected to accessibility. I am curious with who the world is built, designed and decorated for and how this in turn creates lack of functionality and therefore an invisibility of certain people in particular spaces. Within this, I explore how absence is perceived and how the duality of material and painting can specifically highlight the presence of women in the constructed world.
