Rebecca Driffield

Rebecca Driffield is a figurative painter predominantly concerned with the portrayal of the human face; her paintings are often a mix of expressionistic symbolism and psychological depth with influences as disparate and varied as that of cinematic framing and a juxtaposition of images which is often found in the culture of comic strip. Driffield was awarded 4 grants by the Australia Council and lives and paints in Paris for a year. Driffield's painting has also received recognition in London where she was awarded 2nd Prize at the prestigious annual BP Portrait Award at the National Portrait Gallery; her portrait was used as the image to represent the Award. Also in London, Rebecca was invited to show at the Annual Figure Show at the Jill George Gallery in 2005 and was one of the artists in the widely broadcast BBC program "Star portraits". Her work has been selected for various Art fairs: ArtLondon, ArtAthina and MacParis.
