VeeBee’s approach to art is unconventional, using spray paint on glass surfaces and inventing and experimenting with other techniques to suit different projects. Her favourite medium to work with is spray paint because of its versatility and smooth, uniform finish, as she says: ‘Pointing the nozzle over a delicate piece that I have been working on for days or weeks is a terrifying, but truly thrilling moment for me. Sometimes it takes several attempts to achieve the finish I desire. I have had pieces that took over eighteen months to complete.’ However, she is constantly experimenting with different materials and using them in unusual ways. She embraces the challenge of exploring new and inventive techniques and surrendering control. Although not much is known about the artist, they did attend art school and choose to remain in the shadows to enable their artwork to be viewed as a separate entity from them as a person. VeeBee has been involved in exhibitions such as ‘The Other Art Fair’ and is exclusively exhibited in the UK.
We love VeeBee's unpredictable compositions and complex designs.
“I want you to have my work on your wall, not based on who I am, where I have studied or where I have exhibited my work.”
It usually takes VeeBee around four to eight weeks to complete an artwork.
VeeBee’s gallery, ‘VeeBee Art’ is in Brighton.
VeeBee is a self-professed perfectionist - if she makes a mistake, she will start the artwork all over again.
