Inheritance
From the artist’s series titled “A Field of Tender Things,” this painting depicts a bull-headed woman sitting in front of two embracing monks within a florid plunge basin. The bright, saturated colors and loose linework expressively animate this confluence of matriarchal and patriarchal mythologies.
Rebecca Farr’s philosophical paintings of the natural world bounce between intuitive mark-making and classical modes of Impressionism. In these mythic and religious motifs, colored by the queer feminist dramas of history, Farr records collective or personal splits, reunions, and consciousness gained.
