Rebecca Dufoort (b. 1973) works within an abstract-minimalist, constructivist visual language, in which painting becomes an inquiry into form, line, color, and rhythm. Fragments of landscape and architecture are translated into clear structures of planes and bands, where rhythm, balance, and silence take center stage. Oil paint is combined with matte acrylic, allowing subtle variations in sheen to make the surface respond to light and to create depth within adjacent or overlapping colors. The use of diverse supports lends certain works a sculptural quality, intensifying their relationship with space and inviting slow, attentive viewing.
A tension between order and intuition is a constant: while the constructive logic of lines and planes suggests a certain rigor, small shifts, irregularities, and nuanced variations in touch and gloss introduce a human scale. What emerges is a quiet strength, a restrained intensity that slows the gaze and opens space for reflection. Her work invites careful looking—an experience of balance, breath, and silence—a rare counterweight to the speed of our time.
