Due to the Covid-19 situation and the measures to contain the virus, we have extended the exhibition until the end of September. We want to give collectors and visitors more time to enjoy the show in a safe way. If you wish to visit the gallery please contact us at info@reflexamsterdam.com.

For both our national and internationally based collectors, we can provide a digital overview of the exhibition. Please send us an email if you wish to receive the information and images of Helen Beard's new works featured in the show.

Press release

Visually exciting — bright, dynamic and voyeuristic — the work of British artist Helen Beard wields colour, texture and abstraction as tools to take back ownership of sexual imagery from the predominantly male gaze. Beard’s work explores themes relating to gender, sexual psychology and eroticism, forever unapologetic in her depictions of female desire

Reflex Amsterdam is pleased to announce the artist’s first solo exhibition at the gallery. While Beard’s artistic practice encompasses different mediums, including collage, sculpture, ceramics and needlepoint, The Desire Path focuses on her painting and features work in a diversity of sizes, ranging from small studies to large-scale canvasses. The artist’s small acrylic on board works function as preliminary studies for her oil on canvas paintings, in which she instinctively chooses the colours for her compositions.
