EXHIBITION

Dab Art Co. is pleased to present ẸWA (Yoruba for Beauty), a solo exhibition of works by Gretchen Beck. View the online exclusive ẸWA in its entirety on our collectors platform ARTSY (Jul 25 - Oct 25, 2022).

Gretchen Beck served as Professor of Art, Chair of the Art Department, Curator and on the faculty at Concordia University, Irvine, CA, for eleven years.

For the images I produce as an artist, I have conducted research in Niger, West Africa, where I lived for three years. My art involves an exploration of the Nigerien landscape, the Djarma and Fulani cultures and the art forms they create. This abstract work portrays ritual and tradition in Nigerien culture.

To create my imagery, I work from a variety of references. Relationships among color, shape, and texture come together to form fluid and grid-like compositions. Color dominates the images and dictates the media employed to produce them. This portfolio combines painting with oil on wood, drawing with oil paint, collage, ink drawings, mixed-media works, charcoal and graphite on paper.
