Edition of 25
€40 Unframed (includes 13.5% VAT)
The figure of the ‘ghost’ in the sheet is commonplace, but evocative. This is a small mezzotint, so the shrouded figure emerges from the dark visually and materially through the burnishing back involved in that process. The figure of the ghost straddles the line between unnerving and being deserving of a comical pity, with its lack of expression and its bare feet fading away into the print.
Rebecca Gleeson’s work explores themes of isolation, memory and distance. These concerns have most recently been addressed through the use of polar imagery and landscapes, but they have also been addressed through seascapes, image appropriation, and the use of archival presentation. They are currently making use of more ‘common’ imagery, as part of an investigation of what these cultural touchstones can evoke, or be pushed to convey.
Gleeson primarily works with intaglio printmaking, with a particular interest in mezzotinting, and detailed aquatints. Gleeson graduated from Dublin’s National College of Art & Design in 2021. She is now a member of the Black Church Print Studio in Dublin. Exhibiting highlights include, ‘Emerging Practice’ 2022, in The Library Project (Dublin), as well as In Spire Gallery.
