● Artist

Rebecca Ward

Rebecca Ward is a painter and sculptor living and working in Brooklyn, New York. She received a BA in Fine Arts from University of Texas in 2006, and an MFA in Fine Arts from the School of Visual Arts, New York in 2012. Drawing inspiration from Minimalism, hard-edge painting, and Arte Povera, Ward’s banded, sewn, and deconstructed canvases explore the rich territory between sculpture and painting. Materiality and process are central to her practice and evoke architectural garments ripped, unwoven, and re-stitched from flesh-toned canvas, leather hide, and silk organza. Ward’s artworks reveal and obscure, and by their nature, entice viewers to closely investigate contrasts in line and material, modulations in color, and multi-dimensional layers.
