'Rhiannon Roberts in Conversation with Multidisciplinary Artist Gala Bell' Gala Bell is a London-based multidisciplinary artist that explores traditional art processes through the transformation of non-traditional materials. Playing on the intersection of the laboratory, the kitchen, and the art studio, she examines the shared practices of the respective ‘maker’s methods’ used within them. Bell’s early enjoyment of the haptic experience of mixing paint originally prompted her to become a painter before fully branching out into the exploration of additional mediums. Although she is still producing oil paintings on canvas, her work has evolved to include a series of installation and moving image works in an aestheticised display of colour and light with candid, melancholy undertones; her response to the artificiality of the world, or as she puts it, her “reaction to substance and situation.” MADE IN BED’s 2021-22 Editor-In-Chief Rhiannon Roberts recently visited the artist at her Chiswick studio to discuss the art of deep-fried paintings, the commercial viability of living installations, and what she would say to anyone who argues that contemporary art is not real art. - MADE IN BED's Editor-In-Chief, Rhiannon Roberts.
