CV & Bio
Bio
Rebecca Gleeson’s work explores themes of isolation, memory and distance.
These concerns have most recently been addressed through the use of polar imagery and landscapes, but they have also been addressed through seascapes, image appropriation, and the use of archival presentation. Gleeson primarily works with intaglio printmaking methods, with a particular interest in mezzotinting, and detailed aquatints.
Gleeson graduated from Dublin’s National College of Art & Design, in 2021, with a BA in Fine Art Printmaking and Critical Culture
She is now a member of the Black Church Print Studio in Dublin.
