Rachael Bridge Nocturne
18" x24" oil on panel
Rachael Bridge new body of work 'SleepWalking' was created right after the COVID19 lockdown March 2020. Says Rachael, "Circumstances compelled me to make some big life changes as well as deal with things from the past. I painted while overcoming some heavy baggage that I'd been carrying around for a long time. Being isolated from the outside world’s collective madness emboldened me to shift my perspective, like an awakening."
Saturated in color, each character tells a story that only Rachael knows. Glossy vixens rise from her brushes, often wet and sultry. They float, smoke and exist in a dark sinister wonderland. Shrouded in shadows, their colors pop from the canvas, conveying an eerie light.
Her works often resemble film stills, offering a snapshot of the protagonist during a moment of a deep, ominous trance. There is a wealth of emotion in the eyes of Rachael’s characters, and their harrowing stories are told in luminous gazes. Each delicately rendered painting is a deeply personal, and unique manifestation of her own narrative.
RB bio: Rachael Bridge is an artist from New York whose style is a unique take on traditional portraiture, which she warps to create an otherworldly, dreamlike aesthetic.Rachael currently lives and works in New Jersey.
