Paige Beeber
Paige Beeber is best known for kaleidoscopic abstract paintings that could be mistaken for textiles, which she makes in Brooklyn, New York, and Taos, New Mexico. Beeber incorporates a wide range of materials—oil, spray, acrylic paints, inks, dyes, and found objects—into her large-scale, intensely detailed works. Beeber received a BFA from Alfred University. She has since been noted for her distinctive approach to mark-making, incorporating abstract and geometric patterns that give her paintings the appearance of needlework, forging a link to past generations of artisans in her family’s history. Beeber’s prominent use of zesty colors and dynamic mix of techniques create moments of harmony and discord that reflect the rhythm of contemporary life. Beeber is an innovative artist and the visionary owner and founder of See You Next Thursday (SYNT) and SYNT.Pi, a platform dedicated to fostering independent artistic voices. Selected as one of Art in America's top 20 global artists to watch, Paige blends her passion for art with a mission to help creators discover their own unique style. Her work has been showcased worldwide, spanning from solo exhibitions in Sicily to various group shows worldwide to completing her third solo exhibition in Manhattan last year.
Collect Bean x The Art Kollective: What does growth mean to you?
Paige Beeber: Growth to me means continuous exploration. It’s remembering to step outside the studio and engage with the world around me. Most of the answers and subjects in my work cannot exist without this.
Collect Bean x The Art Kollective: What role does art play in society, and how does your work contribute to that?
Paige Beeber: Art serves as a vessel for connection and understanding, often illuminating the spaces between us. In my work, I aim to weave together personal narratives and communal experiences, inviting viewers to engage with the subtleties of their own histories. It’s less about making bold statements and more about creating moments of quiet resonance—encouraging contemplation and a sense of belonging within our shared experiences.
Collect Bean x The Art Kollective: How do you see your artwork fitting into the larger art world or art history?
Paige Beeber: I see my work as part of an evolving conversation that reaches outside of the art world. Each piece is a small gesture toward understanding where we come from and how we connect. My hope is that the layers and textures I use offer viewers a moment to pause, maybe feel a sense of familiarity or grounding—something that resonates both within and outside traditional art spaces.
