Rebecca Tucker is a Lancashire born/London based painter, with a BA in Fine Art from Reading University 1996 and is an alumni of the Turps Art School in London, on their Off Site Programme (2022-23).

She enjoys exploring the balance between abstraction and representation in her work. Her paintings explore organic and abstract forms defined by negative space, taking the space between things and making that the subject of her paintings.

She is drawn to the resonance of specific locations and the unseen histories embedded within them. Each work begins with a search for a meaningful site - a landscape or environment that holds emotional or historical significance - from which she draws inspiration.

She is interested in how the eye and mind interpret visual information, how we locate meaning, subject, and emotional connection within a two dimensional visual field. Each step in her process moves further from representation, inviting ambiguity and suggestion.

Recent notable successes include selection for the 2026 and 2025 Jackson’s Art Prize Extended Longlist and Longlist, selection for the Britten Pears Summer Contemporary at Snape Maltings, inclusion in the 2024, 2022 and 2021 ING Discerning Eye at the Mall Galleries in London, selection for the Royal Watercolour Society Open 2024 and 2023 at Bankside Gallery, being selected for the Royal West of England Academy Open, the Wales Contemporary and the Society of Women Artists Open at the Mall Galleries in 2023, selection for the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition 2022, being shortlisted for the Holly Bush Emerging Woman Painter Prize 2022 and being longlisted in the 2021 Ruth Borchard Self Portrait Prize.
