A Hybrid Exhibition
lovely to see my work was mentioned in this article by aesthetia magazine about the discerning eye exhibition.
"Another selected photographer is Rebecca Fontaine-Wolf, who explores the “conflicted nature of our societal attitudes towards female sexuality.” Folds of Desire depicts fragmented figures holding broken mirrors up to the camera. As white fabric cascades across the frame, viewers might be reminded of classical painting, or, equally, work by Francesca Woodman, Dora Maar and Ana Mendieta "

InFems art collective presents it's first ever UK exhibition, ‘No Reserve’ at Leicester Contemporary. Taking its cue from the adrenalin-fuelled atmosphere of the gallery site’s former life as an auction house, No Reserve is about not holding back, about the limitless, the performative and the theatrical, about extravagant gestures and trickster behaviour. It showcases works across media including figurative paintings, film, workson paper, and sculpture.

InFems - Intersectional Feminist Art Collective comes to Lisbon featuring Portugese artist Rita GT and Angolan-Dutch artist Lola Keyezua @ PADA with MOVART
InFems Art Collective presents its inaugural exhibition ‘Biting Back and Enjoying the Taste’ at PADA, an artist-led, non-profit arts organisation in Lisbon’s South Bay in collaboration with MOVART.
Showcasing works across media (including representations of figurative paintings, a large work on paper, a video, photographs, and ceramics), InFems wants to provoke discussions in Portugal about the role of intersectional feminism and the issues facing women today. Biting Back and Enjoying the Taste explores subjects like the plight of refugees, the fragmented female nude, subversive behaviour – women ‘behaving badly’, the female gaze, colonialism, and female sexuality.

ESPAÇO EXIBICIONISTA GALLERY | Rua Dona Estefânia 157 C | Lisboa | Portugal
‘Between Worlds’ is a visual meditation on womanhood. Somewhere between a dream and reality: this body of work offers snapshots of intimate moments in time. It presents an impression of a journey through womanhood, from adolescence to maturity. Weaving together a sense of internal and external experiences through a playful balancing act between figuration and abstraction. Precise mark making is juxtaposed with broad gestural strokes and sharp geometric elements to produce paintings which seem to shift and evolve in front of the viewers eyes

The (Male) Art Entrepreneur Exhibiting Female Artists
Jun 29, 2019
In London, over two-thirds of artists represented in major galleries are men, even when gallery directors are women. But one young male gallery director is working to upend this inequality on multiple fronts…Rebecca Fontaine-Wolf is one London-based artist selling her work on the platform. She has seen the hurdles female artists face in the male-dominated art world.

Daughters of Medusa
Thu 27 Jun 2019, 6.30 – 9 pm
The Koppel Project | 49-50 Poland Street | Soho | London | W1F 7ND
Rebecca Fontaine-Wolf, The Daughters of Medusa features bold, figurative paintings of women – both self- portraits and subjects Rebecca knows – inspired by the mythological characterisation of women’s cycles, as well as personal stories and experiences.
”The power of the female gaze – which plays such a vital part in the story of Medusa – serves as one of the main focuses for the series of paintings. Even in Medieval times, it was believed that a glance from a menstruating or menopausal woman had the power to poison, or even kill. This illustrates the immense threat perceived not only from women’s menstrual blood (end period poverty) but also from female power itself, which still exists in many forms today.”

Exhibition: Daughters of Medusa
As ITV gear up for another predictable summer full of predictably thin people on Love Island, there’s never been a better time to remind ourselves of the importance of body positivity and healthy self image. That’s what this show, opening this week, champions. Promoting body positivity through the power of the female gaze, Daughters of Medusa takes the Medusa myth as a starting point to challenge our negative cultural conditioning of female identity, women’s bodies and menstruation. More exciting than any Love Island contestant let’s be honest.
