The two works which were selected, shortlisted and included in this exhibition form part of ongoing research inquiry into the use of painting as a tool for visualizing and comprehending spaces and places, and the barriers which serve to divide and organise our physical environment.

BEEP (biennial exhibition of painting) was conceived in 2012 by artist and Elysium Gallery director Jonathan Powell. The project aspires to bring a regular series of ambitious exhibitions to Wales; its main prize exhibition at the Elysium Gallery aims to showcase the best contemporary paintings from across the globe, highlighting excellence in content, aesthetic, technique and materials used, whilst associated events running across Swansea and Cardiff raise awareness of artists’ work and promote opportunities available, allowing BEEP to provide and nurture an informative network for painters and those interested in contemporary painting.
