“I want to depict the body as a highly intelligent, feeling organism inseparable from mind and environment; I see the active body as a cognitive mechanism in itself” – Rebecca Ivatts
Rebecca Ivatts, an English artist who’s training centred on the human body and anatomy, applying elements of expressionism with realism, Rebecca creates large format works, depicting the human body in life-size scale. In the absence of recognisable context, Rebecca’s figures take on a life of their own, conveying their own essence with poignancy. Inspired by nature and form,The Shroud II is a fantastic example of Rebecca’s artistic talent, capturing the viewer with it’s depth and beauty.

After attending Oxford and gaining a degree in modern languages, Ivatts then changed course and studied at the Slade School of Art and the Princes Drawing School, renamed the Royal Drawing School in 2014. Here she focused on the body and anatomy which would become the focus of her art. Ivatts then went on to live and study in Madrid for several years taking courses at the San Fernando Arts Academy.
Ivatts is now back in London where she currently has her studio and continues to produce works. She also leads painting and drawing classes both in London and other parts of England. Ivatts works closely with a number of charities, notably those associated with brain functions.
