| Rebekah Andrade Forth 3, 2022 Oil and acrylic on canvas 50 x 42 inches Collection of the Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC) |
| Mark Moore Fine Art is proud to announce that the Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC) has acquired a recent work on canvas by artist REBEKAH ANDRADE for its permanent collection. Rebekah Andrade (Canadian, b. 1980) is an abstract painter based in Charlotte, North Carolina. She holds a BFA in Visual Arts from Emily Carr University of Art + Design in Vancouver, Canada, and a Graphic Design Certificate from Parsons School of Design in New York City,Rebekah Andrade’s work explores the language of painting by way of expressionism, geometric abstraction, hard-edge painting, and pattern. Her process draws from past work, personal references, familiar forms, objects, textures, and symbols. This structured methodology is transmitted through selected colors of layered paint, collage, and mixed media techniques, always leaving traces of the process visible. Her intention with the work is to investigate and work through questions surrounding the history of representation, limits of perception, aesthetics, status, and reproduction of images, thus providing her insight and clarity into our contemporary visual culture and communicational trends. The Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) at UTC is Tennessee’s first Institute of Contemporary Art. Housed in the Fine Arts Center at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, it serves as a creative epicenter and public gallery, bringing regional, national, and international contemporary art to the campus and the broader Chattanooga community.Founded in 2021, the ICA evolved from the university’s longstanding Cress Gallery of Art. While the former gallery primarily focused on local talent, student, and faculty shows, the ICA was launched to expand the space’s purpose, bringing in bold, adventurous contemporary exhibitions that foster creativity and artistic inquiry. |
