Beebop Galley specializes in offering unknown artists their first solo shows in New York. This is the gallery’s 4th show.<\/p>\n

DEYA RAMSDEN, recently relocated to BROOKLYN, from Oregon.<\/p>\n

“Her eclectic and playful multi media works are united by a sense of experimentation. Using fabric, paper, plastic, clay and metal, Deya crochets, weaves and sews for us a fantastical world of both underwater and land walking creatures alongside of sculptures of environments in which these creatures might frolic . . .
\n . . . ‘Dome City’ is a paper sculpture made while “under the influence of the city” of New York, tiny drawings stacked upon each other with a blue inner glow at the center. Its protrusion from the wall pulls the viewer in to join the city and inspect the individuality of the drawings . . . and,
\nDeya has woven giant ‘Jellyfish’ in plastic, from plastic bags which float above, daring the viewer to play in the tentacles.<\/p>\n

Born and raised in Virginia, Deya is a self-taught artist who has shown work at Nature in Charlottesville, Nocturnal and the Handmade Bazaar in Portland, as well as HaNnA Gallery in Tokyo.”
