Helen Beard, interview | True Colours, Newport Street Gallery, London | 12 June 2018

The exhibition True Colours, curated by Damien Hirst at his Newport Street Gallery, brings together three female painters, Helen Beard, Sadie Laska and Boo Saville, whose practice encompasses interestingly different usages of colour, form and subject.
Helen Beard’s striking and marvellously simplified, flat colour images, take you by surprise in a number of ways.
The fresh colour forms pack a satisfying punch even before the viewer has undergone the gradual realisation that the paintings portray a varied range of sexual acts.
