Elize de Beer

Artist Elize de Beer

Elize de Beer is a South African artist currently based in Cork, Ireland, working from her studio at Sample Studios. She graduated from the Michaelis School of Fine Arts at the University of Cape Town in 2015 with a BAFA, majoring in printmaking and art history. In 2016, she completed her honours in Curatorial Studies at the same institution.

De Beer's work centers around the materiality of books and the visual potential of written language. She creates artist books and large-scale immersive sculptures that challenge the hierarchies and systems within archives, publishing, and library spaces. Her practice interrogates how knowledge is shared and accessed, particularly in relation to personal narratives and global concerns such as climate change and immigration.

De Beer is a co-organizer of Cork Zine Fest since 2022 and has facilitated workshops through the Sample Studios Educational Program. She is also a member of Cork Printmakers and the printmaking collective "The Printing Girls."
