Beth Diane Armstrong

Biography

Beth Diane Armstrong (born 1985) is a South African sculptor. Her skills, ambitious scale and large projects have allowed her to assume the role and position alongside many of her South African male counterparts. For the last number of years she has worked predominantly on monumental artworks made of mild and stainless steel but there are a variety of different materials to her repertoire: other sculpting media as well as printmaking, video, photography, drawing and installations. Born in South Africa in 1985, Armstrong lives and works in Johannesburg. In 2010, she completed her Masters of Fine Art at Rhodes University. In 2007 Rhodes bought her BFA exhibition, Hibernation, for their permanent collection. Since graduating there have been solo exhibitions, a number of group shows and projects locally and internationally, as well as private and public commissions. Recent highlights include sculptures at the Design Miami/Basel design fair in Basel, Switzerland, and at Design Miami, Florida – both in 2014. 2014 also saw the completion of a large permanent public artwork in Oostvoorne, in the Netherlands, commissioned by the Kern Kunst Westvoorne Foundation. Her first large-scale sculpture was bought by Standard Bank in 2013 and is installed in their new building in Rosebank, Johannesburg. Armstrong currently lives and works in Johannesburg.
