Robyn Beeche: Fade to Grey

Overview

Robyn Beeche became known for her photographic work in London during the '80s. Australian-born Beeche's breathtaking photographs depicted painted bodies and came about through collaborations with counterculture personalities of the likes of Vivienne Westwood, Leigh Bowery and Divine. And now the home-grown snapper is bringing her work back here, with the retrospective exhibition Fade to Grey.

Her work a fusion of London fashion and art, Beeche was a trailblazer — until an experience at an Indian festival altered her; the photographer made a life-changing pilgrimage to Vrindavan soon after. And there she remained, and has for the past 25 years.

With selected works from the artist's most renowned creative period — a decade characterised by change — Fade to Grey is a trip back to the '80s. Minus the Lycra dress code. Prints and copies of Beeche’s book, Visage to Vraj, will be available for sale during the exhibition.
