SOLD - 1. Rachel Albano - "Let The Sunshine In" - 12 x 12"

These paintings are a visual representation of the beauty of vulnerability. Stroke by stroke, I navigate the place where intentionality and chance meet, where purposeful marks blend into the wet paint beneath to create an unreplicable synthesis of colour. It is in these bold marks against a quiet backdrop that a narrative of possibility is laid down; graceful curves and blending of colours culminate in a painting that celebrates the beauty of imperfection and the importance of choosing courage. In an intuitive process, I apply acrylic paint with a palette knife to create energetic gestural marks that culminate in a dynamic composition that is balanced by the visual rest of negative space.
