Our Notes
A true master of multimedia, Veebee combines as many techniques as are necessary to create her bold and instantly recognisible portraits of pop-culture icons. It is difficult to think of 'pop-art' or 'pop-culture' and not conjure an image of Marilyn Monroe.
Referencing famous images by Andy Warhol and photographers Eve Arnold and Garry Winogrand, Veebee's ghostly, soft depiction of Marilyn perfectly captures the immortality of one of the modern world's biggest icons.
Signed and numbered by the artist, this print has hand-torn edges that really complement the delicate image.

VeeBee is a contemporary artist based in Brighton, UK, who works primarily in collage and mixed-media. Although her identity remains hidden, VeeBee’s art is far less concealed: their palette of bright colours and well known pop culture references are highly recognisable.

VeeBee’s approach to art is unconventional, using spray paint on glass surfaces and inventing and experimenting with other techniques to suit different projects. Her favourite medium to work with is spray paint because of its versatility and smooth, uniform finish, as she says: ‘Pointing the nozzle over a delicate piece that I have been working on for days or weeks is a terrifying, but truly thrilling moment for me. Sometimes it takes several attempts to achieve the finish I desire. I have had pieces that took over eighteen months to complete.’ However, she is constantly experimenting with different materials and using them in unusual ways. She embraces the challenge of exploring new and inventive techniques and surrendering control. Although not much is known about the artist, they did attend art school and choose to remain in the shadows to enable their artwork to be viewed as a separate entity from them as a person. VeeBee has been involved in exhibitions such as ‘The Other Art Fair’ and is exclusively exhibited in the UK.
We love the unpredictable compositions of Veebee's artwork. The artist prides herself on making each work complex yet perfect: "if I make a mistake, I will have to go back to the beginning and start again from scratch...pointing the nozzle over a delicate piece that I have been working on for days or weeks is a terrifying, but truly thrilling moment for me." The use of challenging mediums such as spray paint makes achieving perfection all the more difficult, and VeeBee's dedication to creating accurate artworks is commendable.
