Rebecca Byrne

(b 1968, United Kingdom. Lives and works in London)

Rebecca Byrne's uncanny and fantastical landscapes are rooted in fragments of memory; reality and fantasy. They explore our relationship to the environment by referencing images of extinct and existing plant life that never actually co-existed; creating pictures of nature in flux. She paints on canvas and aluminum; as well as up to nine-metre-long sheets of paper; which she uses to create immersive site-responsive installations that can be rolled up and reinterpreted in another location. She is interested in the psychological impact of spaces; both man-made and natural; as such; she presents strange landscapes that reflect an interior world.
