Bio
Lucy Rebekah (b. 1989) is an artist residing and practising in Brisbane. She obtained her Bachelor of Fine Art from the Queensland College of Art (Griffith University) in 2014.
Since then she has taken a 5-year working sabbatical, making art and developing her aesthetic and technical acuity in her spare time. Much of her practice revolves around patterns and the handmade.
2020 marks her return to the Brisbane art scene, beginning with the February exhibition Tie Tether Tangle at Impress Printmaking Studio & Gallery, a group show championing the process of making.
Returning to Impress in 2021 for seeing STILLNESS and again in 2023 for VAST & VIVID, she formed the See Saw Collective with a group of fellow artists.
Artist Statement
Pattern is essential to the human mind. We seek it out, desperate to assign value and reason to chaos. I explore this compulsion toward repetition & variation through embroidery and works on paper.
I draw inspiration from early twentieth-century art movements such as Formalism, Suprematism, Geometric Abstraction, and the Bauhaus, as well as modern pop cultural sources.
I am inspired by the works of Kasimir Malevich, Wassily Kandinsky, Sol Lewitt & Frank Stella, Agnes Martin, Anni Alberts, Channa Horwitz, and Hilma af Klint.
