Artist
Rebecca Sammon
Rebecca Sammon is a British artist currently living and working in London. Rebecca studied Fine Art at the University of Brighton and spent six months in Kansas studying Painting and Poetry.
Following a period of time working in the fashion industry, Rebecca left London and travelled around Asia, drawing daily. She drew from imagination, trying to capture snippets of the colour and energy of the spaces she visited and upon her return to London developed her practice and completed The Drawing Intensive at the Royal Drawing School.
Rebecca’s work uses a bold and playful colour palette and she is influenced by the movement of the human body, as well as drawing upon mythology as a source of inspiration. She has recently shown works at Blue Shop Cottage, Bowes-Parris Gallery, Daniel Raphael Gallery, All Mouth Gallery amongst others and has work acquired by Soho House and private collections globally.
Rebecca's Style
Use of colour is a vital element of Rebecca’s work, she references Pierre Bonnard’s landscapes as endlessly inspiring, specifically how he could truly transport you to a different place with his palette, as well as Hilma AF Klint’s sense of balance in her pieces and how colours interact in her paintings as a great source of inspiration.
While her inspirations vary, Rebecca has always had a fascination with mythology. She loves the blurred lines of myths with factual origins that over time become almost entirely fictional. Through this lens, she has always been inspired by the potential to create a story through art and likes her pieces to be open to interpretation - meaning different things to different people.
Rebecca often works with Pencil & Oil Pastel on Paper, exploring the immediacy of working with Oil Pastels, creating rather solid flat planes of colour. She often works into the paper revealing and concealing the lines, which creates an element of chance to the work as sometimes things emerge when the materials combine, creating unexpected results.
"My aim with my work is to create something that feels close to music. This is something that I come back to again and again, I want the work to transport the viewer to another space for them to explore - something for me to keep aiming for." - Rebecca Sammon
AVAILABLE ARTWORKS
Shop by Collection
March Drop 2025
“This collection of work weaves together a series of figures and the intricate connections between individuals and their experiences. Delving into the complexities of human relationships, memory, and the threads that bind us to one another. With swirling scripts, serpent scenes and imagined landscapes each one stands alone yet contributes to a larger story. These experiences unite in a vibrant world of saturated colour and where the dreams of one interlace with the experiences of another.” - Rebecca Sammon
May Drop 2024
"This collection explores the boundaries between reality and the subconscious. Aisling, meaning "a vision within a dream," was the initial piece created in this series and the large portrait was the springboard to a deeper exploration of this state between wakefulness and the dream. This concept led to new ideas where some pencil marks are left in focus and some slip beneath the blur that the pastels create." - Rebecca Sammon, Aisling
The Christmas Collection
“Inspired by the concept of ‘The Three Graces’, this series interprets the idea of the daughters - each daughter being able to bestow a gift on humanity. Graces In Spaces is an extension of ‘The Three Graces’ concept being opened up to the wider imagined space. The prints sit together as a triptyque or a diptyque.” - Rebecca Sammon
September Drop 2023
"This collection includes an exploration of a new medium with paintings using pigments and acrylic paint on raw canvas - a medium that allows the paint to move freely, soaking and staining the canvas. The figures in the painting blur into the landscape moved around by working with water and raw pigment. These pieces are transitory snapshots as with each amendment using this technique the painting would change - some figures lost as the paint and water moves around the surface. A point of reference I regularly come back to rings strong through these pieces. My grandmother was born and grew up on a remote island off the west coast of ireland, living in the only house on the island surrounded by rugged landscape and the wild Atlantic Ocean. 'In Tides' is a collection where these transitory figures are one with the moving water they emerge from." - Rebecca Sammon, In Tides
May Drop 2023
"Valleys of Bright Shadows is a collection of landscape and figurative scenes, these are emerging from fractured memories and reset into new imagined scenes with snapshots of briefly remembered trees in the breeze and rolling mountains in sundrenched hypercolour." - Rebecca Sammon, The Valley Of Bright Shadows

"I started the year working on small scale sketches which often feel like a nice way to begin a project, I found a preciousness through the process of working at this scale and experimented working up these pieces as much as larger works. This became a series of miniatures, small snapshots of imagined worlds and the figures that live there." - Rebecca Sammon, The Miniatures
Winter Prints 2022
A Residency - This House
This collection was created during a week-long residency in the Cotswolds cottage ‘This House’ with her newborn baby Connie-Jean in tow. Read our ‘Diary Of’ journal feature where Rebecca takes us along on this journey to reconnect with making art after becoming a mother.
In The Flesh
This curation is on show at our exhibition 'In The Flesh'. It was on display at 105 Pimlico Road, SW1W 8NQ from 25th November to 19th December 2021. This will be the first time that the artists of Partnership Editions have come together in a physical space since lockdown has lifted, and it celebrates the very fact that we're able to see their works in person again. We embrace the many purposes of an exhibition: a way to unite artists and collectors, and an opportunity to engage with both people and art - something we've all been deprived of for too long. The works in this exhibition have been selected based on their exceptional skill and power to communicate. See their colours, their textures, experience their emotions, let them get under your skin...in the flesh.
