REBECCA BARNARD
PAINTING AND 3D
ABOUT REBECCA BARNARD SWAc
Rebecca Barnard's practice revolves around intuitive, oil based abstract painting, and, more recently, organic sculpture. Her work ranges from multimedia installations to single-media projects.
​
Her central focus is the dance between balance and chaos; "that teetering place we navigate on a daily basis;" Process and outcome for both painting and 3D works, captures that delicate and fragile threshold where order and disorder converge.
​
"My abstract paintings reflect an enigmatic quality, driven by an intuitive process. They often chart a subtle path between abstraction and figuration, sometimes referencing place. Rather than adhering to a predetermined structure, my work emerges organically, capturing the complexity of the creative journey. This interplay between intention and spontaneity makes the works both mysterious and expressive, allowing for open-ended interpretation for the viewer.​ The works teeter between balance and chaos, harmony and disharmony."
Rebecca Barnard lives in Somerset and has an MA Fine Art (Dist.) from Falmouth School of Art. She is a member of the South West Academy of Fine and Applied Arts (SWAc) and a Network member of the RWA.
