Rebecca Levinson
The Inside World
MurmursMurmurs is pleased to present The Inside World, a solo exhibition in the front gallery, by Rebecca Levinson. Rebecca Levinson’s work begins with personal encounters that are then unpacked through the processes of painting and image-making. Seeking out places that bring her into contact with the past, she explores sites and objects as containers of personal, cultural, and secondhand narratives. Depicting only what physically remains from previous eras alludes equally to what is unseen about them: their continued existence as memory, and the potential for distortion in those memories as their point of origin recedes further into the distance. Born and raised in Los Angeles, and currently living and working between Los Angeles and the High Desert, Levinson holds a BA in History from Brown University and studied Painting at the New York Studio School. Twin fascinations with the human need for narrative and the illusory nature of memory have guided her work across disciplines. She has recently shown at Moskowitz Bayse and the Brand Library, and is currently shortlisted for the inaugural Mosaic Art Award. This is her first solo exhibition.
