DEBORAH BELL | Chelsea Physic Garden
DEBORAH BELL, Sentinel IV
Bronze, 230 x 40 x 40 cm
Deborah Bell is one of South Africa’s most celebrated contemporary artists. She works in a range of media on canvas and paper, produces dry point etchings and large-scale bronzes. She has developed an immediately recognisable visual language, her images simple, stark, symbolic – grounded, silent, still, poised. In her iconography she draws from a range of cultures, philosophies and psychologies, with her work arriving out of an internal and personal place that Bell occupies in the world as an artist, a woman and an explorer.
