Rebecca Lindsmyr’s work explores the intensity of painterly representation. Acting within the medium of painting, the exhibition travels from seemingly abstract colors and textures to a glossy representation of a singular popsicle. Free of conventions, Lindsmyr presents a myriad of perspectives shifting between states of the macro and the micro, blurring the lines between figuration and abstraction.

One could argue that abstraction lies in between a state of becoming and remaining. This also extends to our own position as viewer. Going from canvas to canvas, our bodies perform a similar gesture of moving in and out of focus. Some works even feel as though they are mirroring the different states that we physically move between, peering directly into our own bodily presence. These shifts in perspectives explore the glitches within static definitions and confronts one’s own experience of bodily presence with a sense of intimacy, sensuality, discomfort, and disgust. Feelings that the embodied self and the painting structurally can be argued to share.
