Rebecca H.
Quaytman

American, born in 1961


Rebecca H. Quaytman designs her pictorial work as a series of numbered chapters. These are always the subject of a personal exhibition integrating the uniqueness of the spatial/temporal context in which it takes place. The paintings collected in these “chapters” appear both autonomous and interdependent. They are all fragments of a whole, “images of thought”, united by intangible but certainly formal, poetic and even metaphorical links.

Despite appearances, the creative process followed by the artist is not systematic. It encompasses, rather than restricts, the most diverse media, techniques and references, between reconciliation and antagonism. Simultaneously figurative and abstract, painterly and photographic, referencing Op art by artists like Paul Klee, the reflective and contemplative work of Rebecca H. Quaytman renounces exclusivity.

A number of the “chapters” by R.H. Quaytman were added to the Pinault Collection and later displayed together at the exhibition “Luogo e Segni” ("Place and Signs") at the Punta della Dogana in Venice in 2019.
