Rebecca Foster-Clarke

Rebecca Foster-Clarke (b. 1999) is a contemporary figurative artist based in Norwich, UK. She explores the disconcerting nature of being a young woman, weaving a tragicomic narrative where tongue-in-cheek humour meets an eerie uncanniness. Her work is characterised by vibrant colours and near-feverish realism, evoking a palpable tension reminiscent of the opening scenes in horror films.
