‘Sensory Garden Provides Wintertime Oasis Admidst Turmoil’

“That Sunset Gradient Rain Revealed”
Oil on canvas by Rachel Brask (16x20in)

In this thoughtful article by Jaclyn Torres the art exhibit at New Art Center Trio Gallery is explored. Of Rachel Brask’s work in particular:

“…The curator introduced featured artist Rachel Brask who stood by her three oil paintings on canvas titled “A Host of Golden Daffodils in the Rain,” “That Sunset Gradient Rain Revealed,” and “Ocean Rain Storm Rolling In.” Brask described her style – pointillism into undoing. She explained the delicate nature of crafting dots along the canvas before using stand oil to smear away the dots, creating a vibrant mirage. Brask completed these steps over and over. It’s similar to a rainy day, Brask said, the idea of something washing away, the need to rebuild. Brask became interested in her signature style years ago, but the COVID-19 pandemic allowed her to hone her skills. Thus emerged the rain series. She urged viewers to touch the paintings, experience the tactile joy of those dots. My work may only live on for the next 50 years, Brask said, and I want people to touch, feel, experience all of my art.”
