Mark Bowles: California Landscapes & Rachel Darnell: Paintings on Woven Canvas:
Rachel Darnell’s paintings on woven canvas emphasize the interconnectedness and interdependence of all things, combining the immediacy and expressiveness of painting with the primitive structure of weaving. Her travels into some of the most ancient cities of the world inspire her use of gold and silver leafing, like that which has been used to convey divinity. In her work, she attempts to revive ancient, spiritual themes and find expression for them in our modern world.
Mark Bowles’ abstract Western landscapes are individual statements that have emerged from a rich tradition of California landscape painting. The large scale results in a vast visual picture plane with bold areas of color intermingled with subtle painterly areas. The reward for the viewer is resonating landscapes whose color and expressive brushwork evoke a vibrant sense of place.
