Rebecca Glover

Rebecca Glover is a London based painter and installation artist whose practice is rooted in an exploration of spatial experience and notions of stability and permanence.
In her recent work Rebecca uses architectural space much like a canvas, drawing through the air and walls with linear elements that create an emotionally charged space. Her playful structures permeate the physical and psychological space, confronting the viewer and exciting the imagination. These installations have the feel of suspended animations that come to life in the mind of the viewer, activating awareness of the space both within and beyond the room.
A vast sense of dynamic often turbulent space permeates her work, every element suggests potential energy and one becomes intensely aware of the precarious nature of our perception of normality.
All her work originates in drawing. Here she blends a wonderful combination of precision and fluidity in her mark-making creating gestural works of immense depth and imagination.
 With her studio in the centre of the UK's vibrant capital she finds herself inspired by the constant movement and terrific pace of urban life. The Frequent points of departure are architecture and the power in nature, particularly in the recent works this has been various natural disasters or phenomenon’s that have in one way or another affected contemporary life. (For the Market Estate Project it was the recent hurricanes in Haiti, and the current project has involved a strong interest in volcanic activity and the latent power held within the earth.
"Space that has been seized upon by the imagination cannot remain indifferent space subject to the measures and estimates of the surveyor. It has been lived in ... with all the partiality of the imagination." Gaston Bachelard
