About
Rhiannon Rebecca Salisbury is a painter based in London.
Working on repurposed roofing slate, she allows weight, fracture and irregular edge to direct the image. Paint turns these architectural remnants into objects poised between picture, fragment and threshold.
She completed an MA in Painting at the Royal College of Art in 2026 and is an Allen Gallery Artist-in-Residence with Hampshire Cultural Trust, 2026–27.
