It's My House!

Rebecca Farr was born in Los Angeles but raised in the Pacific Northwest, returning to her hometown where she currently resides. She has exhibited in Los Angeles at Five Car Garage, Klowden Mann, Maiden LA, ForYourArt and PØST, in Seattle at the Jacob Lawrence Gallery, along with presentations at multiple art fairs throughout the United States.  

Her most recent solo show CAVE at Five Car Garage concluded November 2021. From 2015-17 she was a faculty artist in the education department at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, overseeing multiple public projects. Her recent residencies include Kaus Australis in Rotterdam, Netherlands and Les Laboratories Aubervillers in Paris, France and NADA house on Governors Island, New York.

Rebecca’s paintings rise from the concept of body through philosophical, and historical (mis) understandings. Paint glides between intuitive free mark making and classical impressionism in works that freshly express color line and texture. Her conversation of embodiment and the abstraction of meaning are at times a gritty wrestling match of thick paint and at others, light stokes in search of beauty. Symbols and narratives populate the paintings and function as markers, gathering the collective and the personal in a world in which the divides of mind and body are invited to fall away. 

“The Two of Us is a self-portrait as well as a conversation between the masculine and feminine.  Two figures in playful stokes and light Mediterranean coastal colors face one another as mental boats float on a body of water above them.  It is a painting of intimacy and individuation.  A peace-making of selfhood.”
