Rebecca Foster-Clarke (b. 1999) is a contemporary figurative artist based in Norwich, UK. Her work explores femininity and psychological archetypes through painting. Drawing on Jungian archetypes, such as the Fool and the Trickster, her practice reflects the tension of navigating womanhood in a patriarchal culture—where performance, misinterpretation, and contradiction are daily realities.

These archetypes, often dismissed as chaotic or disruptive figures, embody vulnerability and subversion as strengths in Foster-Clarke’s work—using humour, contradiction, and unpredictability to unsettle expectations and disrupt familiar narratives.

By reclaiming the Fool and the Trickster as tools of critique and survival, Foster-Clarke challenges viewers to reconsider their assumptions about power, absurdity, and the feminine.
