Rebecca Morris (b. 1969 Honolulu, Hawaii; based in Los Angeles) 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 new outcomes and possibilities.

Morris was recently the subject of a solo exhibition, curated by Jamillah James, which traveled from ICA Los Angeles to MCA Chicago. Other significant solo exhibitions of Morris’ work have been held at the Blaffer Art Museum, Houston; Bonnefanten Museum, Maastricht, Holland; and The Renaissance Society, Chicago. Her work has been included in group exhibitions at Mu.Zee, Belgium; Wexner Center for the Arts, Columbus, Ohio; Made in L.A. at the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles and The Whitney Biennial, New York.

Her work can be found in the collection of the Whitney Museum, New York; Hirshhorn Museum, Washington, DC; Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; MoCA, Los Angeles; MCA San Diego; The Art Institute of Chicago; MCA Chicago; Sammlung Goetz, Munich, Germany; Bonnefanten Museum, Maastricht, Netherlands; and DePaul Art Museum, Chicago.
