About:
Beth Seeboo (b. 1999) is a London-based artist and educator, committed to carving a place for themselves and other working-class creatives to practice despite the systemic barriers preventing them. Since graduating from BA Fine Art at Central Saint Martins, with a Creative Computing Diploma, their work includes mixed-media wax sculptures, fabric prints, collage, and writing. Though their practice is multi-faceted, and the work’s spatial conditions are flexible, there is constant dialogue between digital and physical imagery, and three-dimensional form. Seeboo focusses on interchangeable and fragmented states of the body, dissecting how the body interlinks and extends, through layers of the abject, excessive, obscure, and adorned, as acts of defiance to the intact body. Through the amalgamated material, Seeboo interrogates constructions of the body in relation to hyper-productive work and neoliberalism, questioning how the body both exists within, and is produced by, capitalist demands of corporeal labour. Recent work addresses mechanised bodies within the contexts of gym culture, health, BPD, and foster care, using art practice as modes of catharsis.
Seeboo is a selected artist on the Associate Studio Programme with Acme, serves as Studio Manager for BA Fine Art at Central Saint Martins and works as an Arts and Inclusion Youth Worker in West London. They previously co-ran CRIT CLUB and taught at Tech Yard Creative Computing Club. As well as their degree, they hold educational qualifications in Arts Management for Not-for-Profit Organisations and Experimental Printmaking. They have previously exhibited at CSM, CCI, Camden Arts Centre and Tate Modern, with work showing in the upcoming exhibitions ‘FOR YOUR PLEASURE’ at The Good Rice, Grafters Collective ‘Pop Up Show’ at The Peckham Pelican, and in the ASP 10 Open Studio.
