Pamela Beck
Beverly Hills, California
Pamela Beck is a contemporary artist pushing the limits of abstraction through the lens of her camera.
MessagePamela Beck’s art practice is concerned with pushing the limits of abstraction. Her works are elegant, powerful, eye-popping, and optimistic; they’re distinctive at every turn. Through several series, she’s striven to capture light and motion.
Following a successful career as a novelist, Beck approaches making art with the same interest in narrative that drove her forward in her former career, only she does it through visual means rather than words.
What look like formalist abstractions are much more. Beck is interested in exploring concepts of the unseen. She makes visible that which you cannot see - time and space, and motion becomes palpable in Beck’s ever-changing vocabulary of color and geometry. Her insistence on pushing the limits of abstraction enables her to develop one new series after another and an exciting new body of work year after year.
All of Pamela’s works are available in various limited edition sizes.
Statement
My work is about light, space and movement, a dance of colors that glow and mysteriously merge, luminescent in a silent space, transcending the limits of their original hues. It’s an instant in time caught with a click.
When I aim my camera, it’s fast and furious. I enter a zone where the work takes on a life of its own. I am merely a vessel. Chasing images and holding my breath as I trick the shutter speed and snap away, mystified by the process and the images that evolve. I’m literally drawing with color and light.
As I watch my work grow and morph, I find that the journey is all about color, light and imagination. The harmony of linear lines and the thrill of abstraction. The work becomes its own kind of storytelling. That’s where the magic happens, ever-evolving, with a landscape that is vast and limitless.
