Gabriele Beveridge's sculpture "Three Bodies" features three glass forms with smooth, organic curves tinged with red hues, suspended on sleek metal brackets. The composition blends industrial elements with delicate, translucent shapes, suggesting a contrast between natural and artificial. The artistic style is minimal and contemporary, leveraging materials often associated with commerce and body aesthetics. This piece reflects Beveridge's exploration of consumer culture and the spaces where we curate physical appearances, emphasizing themes of display and surface interaction. ...
Beveridge’s materials frequently derive from commerce sites, particularly those where we prepare and process our bodies or, more accurately, where we pay others to perform labour on our surfaces. Display and presentation are persistent themes throughout the practice. Beveridge includes found photographic imagery, cropped posters and promotional material found in hair and nail salons, alongside photograms, glass and other natural materials.
