Artist's country of origin: Estonia
Rebeka Vaino (b. 1995, Tallinn, Estonia) is an artist based between London and Paris, known for her colourfully evocative and conceptually driven work. She recently completed her MFA in Fine Art at Goldsmiths, University of London (January 2025).
Her process based work moves fluidly between painting, sculpture, performance, photography, installation and whatever else she can think of as she is not concerned with fixed subjectivity and categorization. a metamorphic body landscape as an agent of pleasure, mystery, depersonalisation, liberation, transformation and safety.
By using a variety of material, including her own body, paint, latex and knits she has made herself over prolonged periods of time – knitting is a form of stimming and time keeping for her – She aspires to create a moment of aporia: a door to experience something outside of the realms of everyday existence. To destroy the stability of perception and indulge in the disorganised body in a state of excess; a moment, perhaps as overwhelming and dizzying as the fast turning world, bringing the viewer almost to a standstill, to complete clarity and self-obliteration. The world is spinning too fast for her so she is trying to find and create something to hold on to.
Her ຟ໐rk is a memoir, a cacophony of her lived experiences and the channelling of the body-knowing. Art and life are inseparable here.
Vaino has presented several solo exhibitions, including A Portable Paradise: What Would You Pack in Your Case of Emergency Kit? and The World Is Spinning Too Fast, I Need Something to Hold On To (both at Goldsmiths, 2024), as well as Sveta Presents: Rebeka Vaino at the Tallinn Biennale (2020).
Her work has also been featured in group exhibitions internationally, such as The Eyes of the Skin at Gallery DaSein, Shenzhen (2024), and Lusted Men at Paris Photo (2022). She is published in the books Lusted Men (2024, Paris) and Imago Mundi: Estonia/Identity (2016, Italy).
Recent exhibitions include Embodiment in Nature: The Intersection of Humanity and Nature at Otherlandz, London (2025), and Tenderness at A26 Space with Gallery DaSein, Beijing (2025).
