Watercolour pencil on watercolour paper, 21 x 15cm, (unframed, from the artist’s sketchbook)
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 drawing, taken from the artist’s sketchbook, 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. Rebecca has also drawn inspiration from the writings of Virgina Wolf:
‘The fish is allegorical and a symbol of Woolf’s thoughts (that never came to fruition) concerning women and creation. In ‘A Room of One’s Own’ we see Wolf explore the need for women to have independent space to create’.
Purchased works are usually despatched within three working days.
