Roq la Rue is pleased to announce our representation of artist Syd Bee. Based in the Pacific Northwest, painter Syd Bee is influenced by the lurid delights of horror cinema imagery and the lowbrow pop aesthetics of mid century comics that focused on the campily macabre. Her work often focuses on the femme fatale side of horror, with a series ranging from inviting, lushly glamourous ghouls seductively greeting you, to pensive beauties with various creatures of the night acting as symbolic familiars.
 
”As a person who is naturally drawn to darker subjects, I adore stories of lost love, mystery and death. Bright, radiating colors are particularly appealing to me, and I find them to be powerfully psychological and emotional. In my own work I enjoy marrying moody concepts with vibrant palettes. I find the effect can be dreamlike and otherworldly.
