Artist Statement 'Rebecca's work can be triggered by a particular emotion which has been provoked from an event, through text or other visual and sound stimuli. The work can seem surreal, or contain dream-like situations caused by the fragmentation of the figure or the addition of other objects. This creates a conflict on canvas, giving a strengthened sense of emotion. Her work can seem odd, uncomfortable and perhaps dark, but the pallet she chooses reduces the pieces becoming too violent. Instead the work becomes strangely comforting, as if the figures are in a state of anxiousness, but are in familiar surroundings. Her painting technique at times can seem clumsy, this heightens the idea of a psychological sense of reality rather then reality itself. She is trying to get to a extreme feeling, thought or an action felt rather then paint the event itself. This is why the body may at times is fragmented or repeated to emphasise a feeling felt in her head. It is apparent then to make connections to artists such as Susan Rothenberg, Philip Guston and German Neo-expressionists such as Georg Baselitz who deal with the human condition and paint alternative realities.
Rebecca graduated from Fine Art in 2005 and is currently living and working in Bristol. She paints using oils and her works on paper generally are created using charcoal, pastel and pencil.'
