Inspired by the traditional imagery of trade union banners and protest placards, Rebecca Strickson’s work explores the power and joy of community and collaboration. Using eye-popping, psychedelic palettes, bold and busy compositions, and fragments of typography, Strickson’s aesthetic harks back to the the 1960s, the golden age of civil unrest and positive change.
Since graduating from Goldsmiths in 2002, Strickson has also worked with a number of high-profile clients including Canary Wharf Estates, Channel 4, Southbank Centre, Barbican, Sony, O2, Nike and Royal Mail.
As well as illustration, Strickson creates large scale murals, embroidered banners and colourful wall hangings, and is always looking for new mediums and challenges.
