Helen Beard’s work explores themes relating to gender, sexual psychology and eroticism: always unapologetic in her depictions of female desire. She wields colour, texture and abstraction as tools to take back ownership of sexual imagery from the predominantly male gaze.
With a huge instagram following @helenbeardart and sold out solo shows at Newport Street Gallery, UNIT London and Reflex Amsterdam, her output is increasing in desirability and is owned by collectors worldwide.
Felt Culture worked collaboratively with Helen Beard to recreate her ‘Temporarily Banishing Isolation’ (2019) as a limited-edition bag crafted from Danish fabric that is smooth, directionless and uniform in a manner very similar to wool felt.
