Rebecca Robinson

BA(Hons) Interdisciplinary Fine Art

 

Rebecca Robinson, a London based Fine Artist, uses ordinary, discarded or overlooked objects to make extraordinary work.

 

Her sought after mixed media paintings often incorporate found objects and materials particular to the site of reference. Dust, builders debris,textiles and plant matter for example are used to create unique,textural and evocative works.

 

She strives to create art that is a simple expression of a complex idea.

 

Her installation and sculptural pieces find her employing hands on methods, small repetitive gestures and low-tech materials.Her work is often extravagantly inefficient in time and labour and thus questions notions of perceived value, division of labour and mass consumption.

She painstakingly creates pieces where often only a small percentage of the finished work can be viewed by the audience, asking us to reflect on the unseen endeavors of all artists and crafts people.

 

In her current work "Threadneedle Street" the artist has taken the discarded scraps from a seamstresses work basket to create intriguing handstitched abstract scenes.
