Rebecca Stark
Rebecca Stark lives and works in Cambridge.
Her paintings are created using a wide range of mixed media. This includes gouache, graphite, pastel and acrylic. She uses several paper types, which adds to the rich variety of tones and textures. Rebecca works by slicing and layering her images to create both depth and contrast.
Although many of her images depict Cambridge, they tend not to be of classic views. Instead, hidden corners and less familiar scenes feature in her arresting and distinctive paintings.
I thrive on the challenges of working in two very different disciplines - designing and making metal clocks, and creating mixed media layered paintings. I use a wide range of medium to create my sliced and layered paintings. These include gouache, acrylics, oils, pen and ink, graphite and oil pastel. Working on a variety of paper types, I cut and layer multiple pieces of paper to form a collage. The process is both fragile, exciting and messy.
To see Rebecca’s handmade clocks, visit our sister gallery Cambridge Contemporary Crafts on Bene’t Street in Cambridge.
