Portrait of Rebecca Ackroyd.
Rebecca Ackroyd is a graduate of the Royal Academy Schools. Her confrontational feminine forms and pastel palette made for a spectacular degree show and recent Frieze-approved solo exhibition at London’s Hunter / Whitfield. Her current group show, Is it Heavy or Is it Light?, playfully explores notions of the body, architecture and a deep-rooted domesticity. We caught up with the artist inside her South Bermondsey studio to discuss the exciting evolution of her work since leaving the RA.
