Ben Brown Fine Arts is delighted to announce an exhibition of new paintings by Rebecca Ness, marking the first presentation of work by the acclaimed New York-based figurative painter with the gallery. Ness is a painter of everyday life. Her subject matter is people – encountered directly, but also through the environments, objects, and ephemera that surround and define them. At heart a narrative painter, Ness composes tightly constructed mises en scènes, scattered with visual cues and charged with latent stories. Her works are technically virtuosic, formally complex, and driven by a vivid, unapologetic sense of self.
