Emily Beza

As a result of the award I was able to fund a trip to Manhattan in 1999 where I experienced and immersed myself in its Dynamic Linear Space in order to transpose it on to a two-dimensional Surface in the form of a Painting entitled “New York, New York”, Acrylic on Canvas, on my return to London.

I continue to inspire myself from walking around. I immerse myself in the juxtaposition of structure, movement, rhythm, speed, pace, hustle and bustle of various environments. I describe my work as a reactive and visual reiteration of my experience which then transmutes itself on to the canvas/paper as an imagined reality.
