REBECCA SWAINSTON

BA MA
artist.jpg

Rebecca is a painter and printmaker. Her work addresses the human condition in psychologically charged images which are richly textured and coloured. The work interweaves ideas of the changing nature of identity and perception to explore the shifting nature of existence. Rebecca draws on contemporary and personal events and observations as well as beliefs and ideas from many cultures. Work is powerfully emotive. 

Working across a range of themes which include the mind and body connection the work is powerfully emotive. Objects, pattern and animals carry ideas and reflect aspects of the underlying narrative. Sketchbooks are used extensively, exploiting her draughtsmanship to note and explore ideas. 

These are fascinating visual working documents and are often the starting point for new work. Rebecca’s commitment and skill is evident in every layer of her work, the careful preparation of smooth gesso surfaces, her mastery of drawing and eloquent use of paint and print. Her images have immediate impact but reward repeated viewing as layers of detail and meaning reveal themselves.
