Electra Costa selected for NOA14 - affordable work available

Electra Costa's Peek-a-Boo is selected for National Open Art Competition.

Electra Costa's piece Peek-a-Boo has been selected for the the NOA14 Exhibition. The piece will be exhibited at Somerset House, London from 18th September – 25th.

The Artists’ Preview is to be hosted by Anthony Gormley and Gavin Turk on Friday 26th September at Somerset House and the show will be open daily from 10am to 6pm (last admission is 5pm) and entry is free.

We have a range of pieces by Electra, similar to Peek-a-Boo and available to buy directly from the website, with some of her smaller studies priced at around just.

Children scare easily, they see things adults cannot see. Electra Costa wants to find out why. Are these spectres simply the product of young, over-active imaginations? Or have our older eyes trained themselves to ignore those things which we fear most?

It is hard to decide what might be more alarming; a giant rabbit, bear or bogeyman? Or some weirdo dressed as one? The same scene might trigger a nostalgic excitement in an adult sensibility, whilst painting a picture of perfect terror for a child less au fait with this retro aesthetic.
