Beki Borman Land scape CONTEMPORARY ART REVIEW https://www.instagram.com/bekipaintland— increases, how would in your opinion change the relationship with a globalised audience? Beki Borman: I have done traditional galleries, fairs, and Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/bekipaintland. One thing I love about fairs and IG is that they make art more accessible. As many know, galleries can be intimidating. Online platforms give everyone a chance to be seen and approached. The main downside of course is that painting is usually better experienced in real lifer. Textures and brushstrokes are easily lost. (This is why I do not do prints.). But any chance to reach people and foster art experience is a good one.

Beki Borman: I am currently (as this is early summer) working on a number of small works for outdoor fairs and festivals. However, I have a few larger canvases waiting for me and expect to be tackling them soon. zI currently am continuing to build up my freelance teaching practice. I travel to several locations for workshops, run classes out of my studio, spaces, to street and especially to online take on private students, and even offer platforms — asInstagram online options.
