Rebecca Morris (born 1969 in Honolulu, Hawaii) is an abstract painter who is known for quirky, casualist[1] compositions using grid-like structures.
In 1994 she wrote Manifesto: For Abstractionists and Friends of the Non-Objective, a tongue-in-cheek but sincere response to contemporary criticism of abstract painting.
Some of her influences are the physical space of her studio, Raoul De Keyser,[7] Joan Mitchell, James Meyer, and Terry Riley.
[8] Some compositions are made working flat on the floor, and many include colors that suggest a kind of interior of overlapping paintings, objects, and arrangements of items on a wall.
Her artistic practice has been likened to Laura Owens's free sense of historical reference, as well as Frank Stella and Richard Tuttle.
