REBECCA SITAR Present & Elsewhere
Press Release

Writing in The Guardian Alfred Hickling suggested Rebecca’s paintings were ‘pale and interesting pieces like Monet waterlilies magnified 100 times’, while Dan Smith writing in Art Monthly described her work as ‘that kind of abstraction which suggests itself as lyrical and humanist romanticism'.

“I do know that I wish to explore varying degrees of figuration in my work.” says Rebecca Sitar,“I envisage remnants of objects, organic yet formed, anthropomorphic, suggested relics/ artefacts, that will lend themselves to ciphers of complex states, somewhat displaced, yet held in strange yet familiar enivronments – creating a feeling of the intimate memory traces all of us possess, persisting from experiences, often without memory of the experience. Conditions of light, air, and natural phenomena are all alluded to in my work, inherent in the haiku’s framework.What I intend to make are paintings that allow for poetic reverie, combining form and metaphor, allowing for a creative imaginingto take place.”
