L.A.-based artist Rebecca Campbell’s work is modern but she uses traditional oil painting to create what art critic Shana Nys Dambrot calls a “wild, opulent, radiant, daring, poetically sighing, carefully considered… flat out gorgeous” use of the medium. If that’s not an endorsement, we don’t know what is. In this selection of recent work from 2023 and 2024, Campbell illustrates the “integration of theoretical investigation, psychic exploration and formal invention through her signature virtuosic style.” She even curated a Spotify playlist for the exhibit, so bring your headphones and be in the moment.
