Introducing Beatrice Hasell-McCosh

To encounter Beatrice Hasell-McCosh’s work is to step into a multi-sensory picturesque world of poetry, nature and song. The paintings and watercolours, defying their two-dimensional bases, bend, fold and flourish with life, swaying to the rhythms of Hasell-McCosh’s strokes.
Apsara Studio is delighted to present ‘andante’, a major solo show curated by Jenn Ellis at St. Cyprian's Church, Marylebone, London. With an emphasis on harmony and tempo, ‘andante’ invites us to discover new paintings within the form of a bespoke installation that responds to the neo-gothic interiors of the site.
A Graduate from the Royal Drawing School with a background in English and Classics, Hasell-McCosh collects sources of inspiration from music to set design, comics, 1950s adverts, Chagall’s stained glass, poetry, and tapestries. In her first solo exhibition since her major Garden Museum presentation, ‘andante’ is a nuanced encounter around the endless cyclicality of the natural world.
'andante', July 3 - 20, 2024
