artist’s bio

Rebecca Tucker, b. 1973, is a Lancashire born/London based painter, with a BA in Fine Art from Reading University 1996 and is an alumni of the Turps Banana Art School on their Off Site Programme (2022-23).

Her paintings are the result of a visual ‘discussion’ between abstract and more representational methods of depicting subjects. Rebecca is keen to play with the viewers perception of subject and space in her paintings and then pull that preconceived idea back to the appreciation of what are essentially abstract marks on a two dimensional surface.

Recent notable successes include being selected for the Royal West of England Academy Open 2023, selection for the Society of Women Artists Open at the Mall Galleries 2023, selection for the Royal Watercolour Society Open 2024 and 2023 at Bankside Gallery, selection for the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition 2022, being selected for the 2022 and 2021 ING Discerning Eye exhibitions at the Mall Galleries, being shortlisted for the Holly Bush Emerging Woman Painter Prize 2022 and being longlisted in the 2021 Ruth Borchard Self Portrait Prize.

Rebecca is represented by The Art Buyer, Wychwood Gallery, Mint Art Gallery and BobCat Gallery, and has been exhibited in multiple group shows and at the Affordable Art Fair in Battersea and Hampstead.

As an active member of ArtCan Org Rebecca has had pieces accepted into several curated physical and online exhibitions and has curated group exhibitions featuring 80+ artists.
