Rebecca Mott

Rebecca Mott (b. 1996) is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores the evolving intersection of painting and technology. She received her MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2022 and her BFA from Biola University in 2018. Mott has exhibited her work in Washington, California, and Illinois.

Primarily working in acrylic, she draws unique inspiration from the second generation of Abstract Expressionists, channeling emotional engagement and gestural dynamism into her contemporary visual lexicon. Her current body of work consists of large-scale paintings that act as meditations on resistance, responses to an era marked by unchecked ego, greed, and a pervasive sense of powerlessness.

Mott’s practice is critically engaged with the ethical use of artificial intelligence as a tool to augment, rather than replace, artistic authorship. Her graduate research explored a range of ways that AI can function within an individual’s creative process, while investigating questions of identity, authorship, and ownership in a time when the boundaries between human and machine intelligence grow increasingly blurry.
