Influenced by 20th-century American realism, Spanish artist Bea Sarrias is from Barcelona, a city in which she has found the themes that mark the most important aspects of her artistic work: architecture and light.
Bea Sarrias doesn't paint buildings but instead creates portraits of spaces. Her work is anthropological and is made up of research and photography which documents the past and present of buildings subtly hinting at the presence, and sometimes the absence of their inhabitants.
Her paintings, which are based on the most important works of renowned Spanish and International architects, has received diverse praise and in particular, recognition for her outstanding use of light and shadow.
Bea Sarrias’s solo exhibition, ‘Reflection on Koenig’ is an observational and anthropological investigation into The Bailey House or Case Study House #21 designed by American architect Pierre Koenig.
