BOBBI BECK’s New York City Daydreams: Exhibition of Autobiographical Drawings

Bobbi Beck has spent her years living in New York City keeping a visual diary. In chronicling her experiences in her urban surroundings she blurs daily realities into exotic visual fantasies. Her imaginary world is based on her daily realities as she transfers observations, emotions and feelings onto paper. Always trying to resolve her personal, emotional and even political dilemmas by reflecting on past memories, dealing with the present while always looking towards the future, these drawings seem to allow her to cope with life as a woman living in the city. Frequently accused of being a career fantasizer or mind drifter, her intricate fairy-tale images are meshed from living creatures, inanimate objects, nature, machines and human forms. In the process of finding, sorting, selecting and assembling these elements for her drawings, she travels to another place beyond her urban world.
