Ward-Nasse, New York

In this exhibition at Ward-Nasse Gallery, Beba’s work is presented through the lens of relational movement. The chosen drawings—marked by fine black lines, bursts of controlled color, and figures shaped from gesture rather than anatomy—propose a world where bodies communicate through rhythm alone.

The gallery context, known for championing independent and experimental artists, offered an ideal environment for these pieces. Arranged vertically and horizontally across the space, the works reveal shifting emotional registers: playfulness, tension, and the uncanny harmony that emerges when multiple figures share a single motion.

In this grouping, Beba’s line becomes architectural. Sparse yet intentional, each stroke suggests motion continuing beyond the paper. Her restrained color choices—red, blue, violet, black—activate the negative space, creating a choreography of silhouettes. What appears simple at first becomes a study in equilibrium and human connection.

The exhibition positions Beba’s practice within a broader dialogue of contemporary figurative minimalism, emphasizing how her characters exist not as illustrations but as distilled emotional structures.
