press release

L.A. Louver is pleased to present new paintings by Los Angeles-based artist Rebecca Campbell.

Mystery and drama lie at the heart of Campbell’s paintings. These are haunting works that fuse representation with abstraction, and narrative with the nostalgic sublime.

Campbell draws inspiration from her life experiences, and specifically, memories of her childhood and adolescence growing up in Salt Lake City, Utah. Campbell develops her ideas by taking photographs of staged subjects, which she then proceeds to render as drawings or small oil studies before addressing larger canvases.
