On Display

Broadworks are pleased to announce the opening of Dawn Beckles’ solo exhibition 'On Display', opening on the 18th April.

Dawn Beckles is a mixed media artist specialising in combining painting, collage and screen printing, Dawn frequently parallels found images of man-made beauty with those of the natural world, especially exotic flora inspired by her native Barbados. It is in Dawn’s paintings that one will find high fashion, bespoke interiors juxtaposed with orchids and birds of paradise painted from her private collection.

In a world where we are constantly bombarded with images of grandeur and extravagance, On Display seeks to redirect our attention to the beauty inherent in the ordinary. Each artwork in this collection serves as a testament to the artistic potential hidden within the most commonplace objects. From discarded household items to forgotten trinkets, every piece in this exhibition tells a story of significance, inviting viewers to explore the aesthetic and emotional resonance of the seemingly mundane.

This event is a part of the curated programme at Broadworks, a new cultural centre for the City of London. During the evening, there will be a line-up of DJ performances on our roof terrace for Earth Day with Lin Kam Art and DJs for Climate Action, and an open studios event in our onsite artist’s studios.

Please RSVP through Eventbrite for the PV.
