Rebecca Stevenson is a contemporary artist. Her work draws upon the historic methods and meanings of Sculpture, reimagining and subverting the medium's relationship to power, permanence and the human body. She frequently collaborates with and works in response to historic buildings and collections.

​

Her practice draws upon a broad range of art historical sources, from Renaissance & Baroque sculpture to Vanitas painting; from grotesque ornament to Rococo porcelain; from anatomical illustration to the objects created for Early Modern wunderkammers. Via her unique and complex visual language  - a dance between material, process, form and 'informe' - her objects interrogate the meaning and experience of being flesh.​​

 

In 2022 - 23, Rebecca Stevenson was Artist-in-Residence at the V&A, London. In 2024, she was commissioned by the National Trust to produce the large scale sculptural installation 'Mary, Maria, Marianne' for Beningbrough Hall, Yorkshire.

 

Her solo shows include 'The Triumph of Love' at James Freeman Gallery, London; 'In Transformation' at the V&A, London; 'Delicate Pleasures' at Fasanenschloessen Moritzburg, Dresden; 'Bacchanale' at Collect 2020/James Freeman Gallery,  London; ‘Fantasia’ at Van der Grinten, Cologne; ‘Tempting Nature’ at Mogadishni, Copenhagen; ‘Exquisite Corpse’ at DomoBaal, London.
