Rebecca Bird lives and works in Brooklyn. Her highly detailed paintings explore intersections of personal and collective memory, subjectivity and interior states, while being rooted in a rigorous engagement with the craft and history of painting. She often uses archival photography as source material in order to examine the idea of history as encoded in images. The process of analyzing and painting from these images becomes a means to further understand how historic images are absorbed and repurposed by individuals to structure their private experience.
Bird holds a B.F.A. from the Cooper Union (2000), attended Yale Summer School (1999), and was a Fulbright Fellow to Japan (2000) in painting. Bird's work has been exhibited nationally and internationally and is in private and public collections including the Microsoft Collection and the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
Rebecca Bird has been represented by Kopeikin Gallery, Los Angeles, since 2009.
