Rebecca Morris (b. 1969 Honolulu, Hawaii; lives and works in Los Angeles, CA) is known for her inventive approach to composition, color, and gesture. Working primarily with thin, matte washes of color juxtaposed with shimmering, metallic impasto, Morris’ practice demonstrates a rigorous commitment to experimentation, combining seemingly disparate patterns and motifs to generate exciting new outcomes and possibilities.

​

Morris was recently the subject of a solo exhibition, curated by Jamillah James, which traveled from the Institute of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (2022), to the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago (2023). Other significant solo exhibitions of Morris’ work have been held at the Blaffer Art Museum, (2019); Bonnefanten Museum, Maastricht, Holland (2014); and The Renaissance Society, (2005). Her work has been included in numerous group exhibitions, including Inherent Structure, Wexner Center for the Arts (2018); Made in L.A. 2016: a , the, though, Hammer Museum, Los Angeles (2016); and the 2014 Whitney Biennial, Whitney Museum of American Art, New York.

​

Her work can be found in the collection of the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, DC; Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego; Art Institute of Chicago; Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago; Sammlung Goetz, Munich, Germany; Bonnefanten Museum, Maastricht, Netherlands; and DePaul Art Museum, Chicago.
