'Solidify' Original Oil Painting, Rebekah Hunter

'

Solidify presents a profound exploration of human resilience through layered abstraction. Rebekah's technique—employing Old Holland oils, sculpted elements, and 22kt gold leaf—creates a visually complex surface that mirrors emotional depth. By strategically scraping back successive layers, the artist reveals hidden dimensions beneath, inviting viewers into an intimate examination of vulnerability and contradiction. The integration of rich pigmentation, pastels, and liquid latex generates a textured dialogue between material and meaning, grounding spiritual inquiry within the physical realm. This substantial canvas functions as both visual object and emotional testimony, addressing themes of faith, human fragility, and the capacity to endure life's most demanding moments.
