Rebecca Kubica American, b. 1988

Rebecca (Becky) Kubica’s artwork is a reckoning with personal life and fantasy. A natural storyteller, she creates artistic narratives of herself alongside friends, family and fictional characters from the silver screen. Postures and expressions are carefully constructed and emphasized to support her narratives.

“I love it. I can make any drawings I want. I love that I make the own names from my life. I made it my own.”

Kubica has a methodical sketching practice in which she works out all of the details in advance of her final piece to construct her ideal composition. Fields of tightly fitted, angled shapes fit together to form a quilt-like background of highly saturated pigments.

“I do this well. It’s my favorite and my feeling.”
