THE LOOKING GLASS // 2022
Mirrors can evoke strong feelings in us – and they can also be incredibly powerful tools for changing our perspective and seeing parts of ourselves that are usually hidden as we look out into the world.
-
Our desire to be seen and reflected is basic and innate. As children, we learn to understand ourselves through the reflections of those around us.  In fact, psychologists have found that face-to-face contact is essential for our social and emotional development. As we spend more time alone and on our devices, we miss out on this social reflection. Through the mirror, we can come face-to-face with ourselves at any time.

Wing's style is reminiscent of Picasso and Matisse. Her Fauvist-inspired drawings have become something of a sensation; popping up everywhere in galleries and online circles worldwide. Inspired by sculptures and statues, most of her creations are done in one go: the pen or paintbrush doesn’t leave the paper until the figure is complete
Nothing is produced without passion and a irrational emotion. She is often inspired by stories, poetry people and faces - anything that is raw and real.

Artist Bio

Contemporary Minimalist | From Gestural Studies to Masterworks

​About the Artist:
​Rebecca Wing Sze Lam is a Brisbane-based contemporary artist whose work is a refined exploration of subconscious intuition and primordial form. Known for her reclusive and deeply focused studio practice, Rebecca’s art serves as a silent conduit between the artist’s inner landscape and the collector’s space.
​While her premier, large-scale masterworks on museum-grade linen are represented via 1stDibs, her presence on Bluethumb offers collectors an exclusive look into her Formative Series and Experimental Gestural Studies. These works on canvas and paper capture the raw, energetic origins of her minimalist style.
​Rebecca’s work is held in private collections globally and is featured in prominent public installations, including the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital. Her practice continues to evolve, prioritizing archival integrity, emotive depth, and the sophisticated beauty of the unspoken mark.
