Bethan Hemus is a concept-led, multidisciplinary artist exploring the intersections of trauma, resistance, and repair. Her practice uses art as both excavation and offering, unpicking the brittle ideologies and power structures that shape our lives.
Now in the final year of a BA (Hons) Fine Art degree at Nottingham College, her practice is driven by personal experience and a deep curiosity about how we break, mend, and adapt.
She is intrigued by paradox and often crafts ambiguous work that invites others to question, witness and co-create. Working intuitively across media — from the layered tactility of printmaking to the intimacy of textiles and the immersive possibilities of installation — Bethan allows each idea to find its own voice.
Play and humor are central to her artistic process: not just for levity, but as sharp tools of provocation. By upending the expected, Bethan aims to spark delight while challenging the serious — encouraging us to imagine what else might be possible, both in art and in the world at large.
With over a decade of experience in community and grassroots organising, Bethan’s creativity extends beyond the studio. Since her early twenties, she has been a regular presence in the counterculture scene, supporting and contributing to spaces where art and music becomes action and connection.
She is open to commissions and collaborations: for all enquiries, please use the contact form on this website.
