Two-Step




BiographyBeth Shapeero (b.1985) and Fraser Taylor (b. 1960) have been painting, drawing and printmaking together since 2018 as part of their collaborative project Two-Step.  Both living and working in Glasgow, they were drawn to one another’s work after noticing a distinctly shared aesthetic and process.  Since meeting they have produced 100’s of monotypes and drawings as well as several ambitious installations. The collaboration has become an important part of their creative practices and continues to grow.

In 2019 they held their inaugural exhibition at Govan Project Space (Glasgow). In 2020 they exhibited at Stallan Brand (Glasgow), 19 Woodside Terrace with From the Studio (Glasgow), they also took part in a residency at Scottish Opera (Glasgow) and created a semi-permanent installation for The Loading Bay Skatepark (Glasgow). In 2021 they showed work at The Briggait (Glasgow) and developed gigantic installations for Beacon Arts Centre (Greenock) and The Hidden Door Festival (Edinburgh). In 2022 they had exhibitions at The Royal Scottish Academy (Edinburgh) and Kelvingrove Gallery (Edinburgh).  This year they had a major solo show at Glasgow Print Studio and have upcoming exhibitions and project at The Briggait (Glasgow), Edinburgh Printmakers (Edinburgh) and Platform (Glasgow).
