Rebekah MacKay is an internationally exhibiting abstract artist currently based in Antibes, France. Her work weaves paradox and transformation into expansive canvases, using layered paint, scraping, and linework. Rebekah’s artistic career began with her B.F.A. in Fine Arts from Syracuse University and an M.S. in Photography, followed by years working with Ralph Lauren and running her own creative agency. Now, she has fully returned to her abstract expressionist roots, with works that explore the passage of time and human experiences through tactile, immersive processes.
rebekahmackay.com Rebekah MacKay – Artist Statement My artistic practice delves into the complex emotions that shape human experience, often drawing inspiration from nature and urban life. I embrace an active, dynamic process—layering paint, scraping away, and building up textures to uncover unexpected connections. My work is an ongoing dialogue between chaos and serenity, where every gesture on the canvas reflects the tension between these forces. Through an immersive exploration of color, texture, and movement, I seek to capture life's fleeting moments and offer viewers a space to engage deeply with their own emotional landscapes.
