Rebecca Parkin
Profile/CV
Rebecca’s paintings often feature a mythologized subject of colossal proportions, a man playing the role of super god. The iconic status of the front man, artist or action hero told in countless ways through film, comics and legendary performance is reborn through her paintings again and again like a Greek tragedy. Masculinity and its uncertainties underscores her images promoting a complex atmosphere in even the most over determined of themes.
She appropriates painterly style owing a debt to the genre of parody and focuses on the relationship between painting and other cultural forms of image making, such as fantasy and science fiction art and computer animation, amplifying the effects of this interaction to seize the subject in compelling and startling ways.
