Biography

Born in the United Kingdom, Reba Maybury has established a multidisciplinary practice that spans writing, lecturing, and visual art. Her work often interrogates the intersection of economic structures and personal agency, drawing heavily from her experiences as a dominatrix.

Maybury is recognized for her conceptual approach to art production, where she positions herself as a director who delegates the physical creation of her pieces to male submissives. This method serves to challenge traditional notions of authorship and the commodification of labor within the art market.

Her work continues to gain institutional recognition, including her inclusion in the 2026 exhibition Beyond the Manosphere – Masculinities Today at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam. This participation highlights her ongoing exploration of gender roles and the performance of masculinity in contemporary society.
