My consistent focus since graduating has been to play with the balance between representation and abstraction, the idea of suggesting something to a viewer and then essentially thwarting that perception by drawing them in to see the beauty of paint on a surface. The perception of the viewer is essential to the concept of the paintings, they may ‘see’ something recognizable, relate to a painting on some level involved with their own memories, but I want to take them past that, to see the paint, react emotionally to the actual painting, not just to the perceived subject of the piece. Working primarily with water-based materials allows the use of water itself as part of the process, painting layers and then fully or partially washing them away, taking advantage of the ‘happy accidents’ that occur, bringing an element of experimentation into every painting. I enjoy the use of adding a graphic line to create silhouettes, redacting negative space, playing with foreground/background, or focusing so closely on something that it becomes essentially abstract.

Rebecca Tucker, b. 1973, is a Lancashire born/London based painter, with a BA in Fine Art from Reading University 1996 and is an alumni of the Turps Banana Art School on their Off Site Programme (2022-23). Her paintings are the result of a visual ‘discussion’ between abstract and more representational methods of depicting subjects. Rebecca is keen to play with the viewers perception of subject and space in her paintings and then pull that preconceived idea back to the appreciation of what are essentially abstract marks on a two dimensional surface. Recent notable successes include being selected for the Royal West of England Academy Open 2023, selection for the Society of Women Artists Open at the Mall Galleries 2023, selection for the Royal Watercolour Society Open 2024 and 2023 at Bankside Gallery, selection for the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition 2022, being selected for the 2022 and 2021 ING Discerning Eye exhibitions at the Mall Galleries, being shortlisted for the Holly Bush Emerging Woman Painter Prize 2022 and being longlisted in the 2021 Ruth Borchard Self Portrait Prize.
