① Artwork:
Peacock
From the artist’s series titled “A Field of Tender Things,” this painting depicts three figures embracing within a field of blooming flowers as two birds—a small blackbird and a peacock’s shadow—bookend the group. The painting’s bright, saturated colors and loose linework convey a mythic landscape that seems to emote empathy, eros, and grief.
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.
