BIOGRAPHY
Rebecca Latourette (b.1993, California) is an American-British painter living and working in Colchester, UK. She holds an MFA from the Slade School of Fine Art and a BFA in Fine Art & History of Art from Goldsmiths, University of London. She has exhibited in various group exhibitions in the UK and US including: Exchange House (London,UK), ASC Gallery (London, UK), The Brooklyn Artist’s Coalition (Brooklyn, USA) and The Great Highway Gallery (San Francisco, USA). She has been shortlisted for the Graduate Art Prize and participated in the historic AICAD/New York Studio Residency Program in Brooklyn, New York.
Latourette's painting practice is concerned with the physical and psychic borders of the body, specifically in trauma-induced psychological states and psychopathologies. Using anthropomorphism as a vehicle, she examines the personified characteristics of trauma and dissociative states as autonomous entities. She is interested how these entities occupy space within the self, and how this affects the subject’s perceptions of embodiment, agency and reality.
