How to mend a broken heart - solo exhibition by Beth Croce

‘How to mend a broken heart’

 A solo exhibition by Beth Croce at Lord Coconut

Exhibition opening: Tuesday 22 January 2013      5.30-7.30pm

Exhibition: 15 January – 2 February 2013

Melbourne’s foremost men’s jewellery emporium, Lord Coconut, continues its love affair with emerging young artisan jewellers, with an exclusive solo exhibition of painted vintage book covers titled “How to mend a broken heart” by Beth Croce as part of the 2013 Midsumma Festival.

The works presented in this exhibition, hand painted on vintage encyclopaedias, are a different take on how to mend a broken heart. Hunky boys and dashing dolls demonstrate this hands-on approach to heart surgery. Heartache never looked so good.

Croce explains that, “I've made paintings of little people in my cardiac illustrations on the covers of a series of vintage encyclopaedias. The 1950's calendar style figures are hands-on at work in today's cutting edge surgical procedures. It's old and new, vintage with modern, art meets science - some of my favourite juxtapositions rolled into one fab little show”.

Beth Croce is a Johns Hopkins (USA) trained, certified medical artist whose 18 years as a biomedical illustrator has inspired the Bioperspective line of jewellery, prints and paintings. Her art is informed by her award-winning professional illustration work and takes anatomically accurate jewellery, prints and paintings to a new level.
