Artist

Bek Ashton

Bek Ashton is a British/American multidisciplinary artist, based in London. Her practice lingers between self-referential fact and fiction, where observation is unsettled by memory, writing, and the uncanny. Colour and texture play a central role, layered through persistent working and reworking that allow her images to oscillate between the intimate and disconcerting. She works with everything from foraged natural pigments, oils, to the raw immediacy of a ballpoint pen - bridging the crude and the delicate. Her drawings speak to this process of accumulation, seeking to crystallise moments of connection while holding space for ambiguity and strangeness.

Bek earned her degree at the Glasgow School of Art in 2020, before graduating from The Drawing Year at the Royal Drawing School in 2024; and then completed the Drawing Marathon at the Rhode Island School of Design in 2025.

“My practice begins with writing, ink smudges, and drawing. I find comfort in giving life to these fragments - translating them into unexpected yet intimate places. I like to think of myself as a magpie with imagery, gathering accessible symbols that culminate in a narrative-rich world where more waits to be uncovered beneath its surface." - Bek Ashton
