Rebecca Meanley received an MA in Fine Art from Chelsea College of Art and Design in 2003, having previously studied at Nottingham Trent University and Glasgow School of Art. She lives and works in London and exhibits internationally. Her primary practice as a painter incorporates drawing and writing and uses photography as a continual archival process. Rebecca is also a part-time Senior Lecturer in Visual Art Practice.
Rebecca‘s practice questions the possibility of the immediacy of gesture, the power of the mark-making process and of paint itself, in its ability to convey experience and meaning to the viewer. She is conscious in this endeavour of the tension between pure abstraction and the purpose of the gesture - ‘The task of painting is defined as the attempt to render visible forces that are not themselves visible’ (Deleuze).
