About Rebecca Hind
Water colour artist, Rebecca Hind was sponsored by Winsor & Newton for her 2006 project, Moonscope and for an ongoing exhibition Scintilla: the glittering speck. The focus of Moonscope was a celebration of mankind’s response to the Moon, past and present, whilst Scintilla: the glittering speck deals with Life, Death and Resurrection in symbolic form.
Rebecca Hind's Work
Rebecca Hind is an artist working predominantly with paint. Her large-scale watercolours push the technical boundaries of the medium in unexpected ways, offering a visual and contemplative intensity. This aesthetic depth is exemplified in Scintilla : the glittering speck, a triptych Reredos painting at Christ Church, Spitalfields in London. The paintings allude to Life, Death and Resurrection in Symbolic form. Scintilla follows a a series of lunar paintings made for a solo exhibition at the Museum of the History of Science, Oxford, in 2007. The exhibition, moonscope, was sponsored by Arts Council England South East and by Winsor and Newton. Her current project examines air, fire and water in their various manifestations. This work was exhibited at Curwen and New Academy Galleries, London, during September 2011. In November 2011 she was invited to join the Global Network of Watercolour Painters. She will be exhibiting with the GNWP in Japan during 2012.
In addition to exhibiting, Hind has been artist in residence at the Banqueting House, London, and affiliated artist with both Sacred Land and the Alliance of Religions and Conservation for six years.
This led to her writing three books, the most recent of which, Sacred Journeys, was published during 2009. She has frequently appeared on television and radio discussing art in relation to spirituality.
Hind chairs Contemporary Art in Dorchester Abbey, CADA, a curatorial project that allows her expertise in art and religion to be put into practice, and the Kevin Slingsby Prize for Funnel Vision at the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art, Oxford University. In addition, she has been teaching painting and drawing to adults for many years, currently at the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art, Italy, France and throughout the south of England. ‘For me, one of the joys of watercolour painting lies in keeping the balance between spontaneity and control, balancing light with shade, soft against hard, transparency against opacity. And I relish the chance to share my enthusiasm for painting through exhibition and teaching’.
