Acrylic on watercolour paper, 22 x 18cm, (unframed)
Rebecca Harper’s figurative images are rooted in drawing from observation whether it be from life, borrowed source material, or old photographs found in her family archive. Her subjects and their surroundings take on a dreamlike quality through Rebecca’s distinctive glowing palette and use of translucent layering.
This painting on paper is one of several new studies of the female figure; water is also a constant theme running through her practice. This growing body of work explores a new area of interest for the artist - the mythical world of mermaids and selkies. In Rebecca’s words:
’These drawings reference tales of selkies in Oakland, California, involving the transformation from seal to human and back again. Once on land, the cloaks of these creatures’ skins are often hidden in an attempt to stop them from returning to their place of belonging.’
Purchased works are usually despatched within three working days.
