Nicola Bealing’s practice leans towards the narrative and visually communicates modern-day fables by exploring the absurdity of human behavioral patterns. Themes of dark and light, blood and contortion, wind, sky and water, eyes and teeth, long roads, high mountains, birds in forests together with powerful representations of flora recur in her work. For this reason, she was approached by Wiltshire Creative to make a new body of work for a solo exhibition at Salisbury Arts Centre. This new exhibition ‘Three Acts and Seven Scenes’ coincides with the retelling of Blood Wedding at Salisbury Playhouse, and highlights the interdisciplinary ambitions of Wiltshire Creative’s programming by bringing masterful execution of drama across many canvases to Salisbury Arts Centre.

Nicola Bealing is represented by Matt’s Gallery, London.
