Rema’s process is iterative and materially driven; pigment is poured, sprayed and brushed onto the canvas in successive layers, then sanded back and reworked. Every stage offers up a residue, embedding earlier moments within the surface. Her paintings accrue density through repetition, with colour reduced, dispersed and reassembled over time.

Surfaces carry a fine, particulate quality, where abrasion activates the material of paint and exposes its structure; this approach establishes subtle visual tension between accumulation and erosion.

 

Rema received her MFA from the California College of the Arts and a BFA from California State University Long Beach. Her work has been presented in institutional exhibitions, including Shaping Gravity: Abstract Art Beyond the Picture Plane at Forest Lawn Museum and exhibitions at the Long Beach Museum of Art. Her paintings are held in major collections, including the de Young Museum and the City of Hope Art Collection. She is the recipient of significant awards, including the Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant.
