Bec Kirby
In episode 5 of COAT Tales, we hear from Bec Kirby, the creative force working across painting and textile installation.
COAT Tales, Ep. 5
Bec lets us behind the scenes of her practice to explore how spatial composition shapes her work, drawing from interiors and architecture of the 1990s and early 2000s, and unpacking how the placement and orientation of elements can create harmony or unease within a painted space.
Colour, Curated
by Bec Kirby
"When I think about my practice, a lot of it begins with an interest in environmental space. Small shifts in placement have the capability to determine whether something feels harmonious of uncomfortable, and I push this idea in my work." — Bec
"When it comes to colour, I take inspiration from the restrained palettes of post war and brutalist architecture. " — Bec
"Inspired by 90s and early 2000s interiors and architecture, she translates spatial logic into painting. Colour plays a key part in this."
