Rebecca Farr

Rebecca Farr’s paintings explore the significance of physicality within psychological, spiritual and historical contexts. Her imagery sources mythic and religious motifs and is populated with symbolic figures that wrestle with the cultural abstractions of embodiment. Her queer feminist sorting of the historic drama of figure and the natural world is both celebratory or satirical. Farr’s paintings are intuitive. Subconscious impulses develop through bold color, line and texture and integrate impressionistic and classical techniques to forge a distinctive language that articulates her study of human desire.
