Rachel Maclean is an emerging Scottish artist born in 1987 and based in Glasgow, who works predominantly with digital videos. Maclean started experimenting with green-screen technology, which now characterises her practice, while she was studying her BA in Drawing and Painting at Edinburgh College of art (2009). Her films combine a variety of references to popular culture, and of genres such as children’s television programmes, horror movies, British comedy, video games, reality TV and YouTube videos. Maclean’s work is defined by a constant back and forth between the seductive and the unsettling, revealing behind her candy-coloured, fantastical fictions a much darker reality. Maclean received significant acclaim, with major solo shows at TATE，National Gallery of Australia, Canberra, Zabludowitz Foundation, London, Château de Servières, Marseilles, Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane, Artpace San Antonio, Texas, etc. Maclean represented Scotland at the Venice Biennale 2017 with the newly commissioned work Spite Your Face, on view in Chiesa Santa Caterina.
