Gilpin Rebecca
(b. 1996)
Rebecca Gilpin specialises in abstract painting on a large scale, taking inspiration from different periods between ancient art and popular culture - cave etchings to record covers.
She has two different ways of painting that she switches between, primed oil paintings and then soak stain paintings on unprimed canvas. Her repetitive technique of staining unprimed canvas with acrylic and water was first witnessed in India as a child. When she is painting with oils, she creates thick built up, textured process paintings which are assertive and bold. Her striking colour palette embodies the wonders of the natural world. Each painting tells a story, whether it be autobiographical or something she has read or seen. She believes that everything is connected on her journey to understanding the world. She plays with the idea of chance by being as free as possible and prides herself in taking big bold risks.
