"Just before the COVID lockdown, I moved into a new studio and started making a lot of new, very structured work, a process that provided stability in the face of uncertainty and confusion. The results, though, feel anything but grounded. They’re buoyant and lighthearted, fun—almost like an antidote to the virus. Since it’s been difficult during the pandemic to get materials, I’m also making work from whatever I happen to have in the studio."
Beth Caspar was born in Northport, New York. After graduating from high school, she went to Pratt Institute and later to the University of Florida, where she received a BFA in printmaking. She returned to New York to continue her practice, first in New York City and then for 25 years in Brooklyn. In 2013, she relocated her studio to the Catskills. She has exhibited work nationally and internationally and is represented by the Kentler International Drawing Space in Brooklyn, New York; Geoform, an online gallery of hard-edge, optical, and mathematically influenced art; and, until it closed last year, regularly showed work at The Painters, a gallery in Fleischmanns, New York. Her work is in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Brooklyn Museum, the Columbus (Georgia) Museum of Art, the D’Arcy Thompson Museum in Scotland, the New York Public Library, and the University of Florida, as well as numerous corporate and private collections.
