Her practice reimagines figurative painting through bold colour juxtapositions, sensuous brushwork, and compositions that balance romanticism with psychological intensity. Working between the classical and the contemporary, Beager creates paintings in which figures appear suspended between ecstasy and anguish, desire and isolation, independence and belonging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing inspiration from Renaissance painting and the dramatic poses of religious iconography, her figures possess an otherworldly presence while remaining emotionally immediate. Richly layered surfaces and vivid palettes contrast with the emotional complexity of her subjects, producing works charged with tension, intimacy, and theatricality. Themes of love, death, longing, and transformation recur throughout her paintings, which hover between dreamlike reverie and emotional confrontation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeager completed the Turps Banana Correspondence Course (2020–2021), following a BA in Fashion Design at Nottingham Trent University, UK (2007–2010), and a BTEC National Diploma in Art and Design (Distinction) at South Essex College (2006–2007).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSelected solo exhibitions include \u003cem\u003eSalon\u003c\/em\u003e at Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery (2024); \u003cem\u003eSlow Blink\u003c\/em\u003e at Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery (2024); \u003cem\u003eParadise\u003c\/em\u003e at Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery, Berlin (2023); a solo booth at Enter Art Fair with Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery, Copenhagen (2023); \u003cem\u003eSwan Maidens\u003c\/em\u003e at Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery, London Bridge (2022); a solo booth at the London Art Fair (2022); \u003cem\u003ePlatform\u003c\/em\u003e at Unit London (2022); \u003cem\u003eDreamers\u003c\/em\u003e at Wilder Gallery (2021); and \u003cem\u003eThe Torches Burn Bright\u003c\/em\u003e with Offshoot Arts x Artsy (2021).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSelected group exhibitions include \u003cem\u003ePeople Watching\u003c\/em\u003e with the The Ingram Collection at Dorset Museum \u0026amp; Art Gallery, Dorchester (2026); \u003cem\u003eFrom Then to Now: 90 Years of Glyndebourne Posters\u003c\/em\u003e at Glyndebourne Opera House (2024); Expo Chicago, USA (2024); \u003cem\u003eMoons\u003c\/em\u003e at Enari Gallery, Amsterdam (2023); \u003cem\u003ePapier\u003c\/em\u003e with Delphian Gallery in France (2023); \u003cem\u003eThe Spirit of Adventure\u003c\/em\u003e with The Ingram Collection at West Horsley Place, Surrey (2023); \u003cem\u003eEye of the Collector\u003c\/em\u003e, London (2023); Untitled Art Fair, Miami (2022); \u003cem\u003eThe Ingram Prize\u003c\/em\u003e at Unit 1 Gallery Workshop, London (2022); \u003cem\u003ePower of Femininity\u003c\/em\u003e at Kutlesa Gallery, Switzerland (2022); and \u003cem\u003eAntisocial Isolation\u003c\/em\u003e curated by Delphian Gallery at the Saatchi Gallery, London (2020).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHer awards and residencies include the Palazzo Monti Residency, Italy (2024); winning the Ingram Prize (2022); the Clovermill Artist Residency, The Netherlands (2022); and the Delphian Gallery Open Call (2020).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHer work is held in collections including the Gnutti Beretta Collection, Italy; Palazzo Monti, Italy; the Noewe Foundation, Lithuania; The Ingram Collection, UK; and Soho House Collections.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AOAP Projects","offers":[{"title":"No insurance (+£0)","offer_id":57733096898934,"sku":null,"price":600.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"UK insurance (+£15)","offer_id":58013653696886,"sku":null,"price":615.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Europe insurance (+£25)","offer_id":57987665789302,"sku":null,"price":625.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rest of World insurance (+£35)","offer_id":57987665822070,"sku":null,"price":635.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2714\/0060\/files\/Artwork137.jpg?v=1778251832","url":"https:\/\/aoapprojects.com\/products\/amy-beager-the-pollinators-ii","provider":"AOAP Projects ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
