Rebecca Morris (b. 1969, Honolulu, HI; lives in Los Angeles, CA creates largescale paintings that use intense color and recurring motifs, such as grids, geometric forms, and patterns, to defy the conventions of historical abstract painting. Untitled (#10-19) showcases Morris’s rigorous approach to painting, as well as her inventive use of texture, composition, and color. The MCA held a major solo show of her work in 2023 and holds several of her pieces in its collection. Morris’s work has been shown at Institute of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; Blaffer Art Museum, Houston; Kunsthalle Lingen, Germany; and the Renaissance Society, Chicago. Morris also has participated in major group exhibitions, including the 2016 edition of Made in L.A. and the 2014 Whitney Biennial, among others.
