Mastering the art of Boredom
(NEW YORK) — Of all the rooms in a home, the bedroom commands the deepest sense of mystery; it can be functional and practical, as well as a singular private sanctuary. Often a shared space of silent communication, it speaks in color and form.
“Peacefulness, serenity and absolute passion are feelings that should be evoked in a bedroom,” says artist Rachel Tribble, whose paintings have been gaining national attention for their intense use of color and emotional response.
Rachel’s work is shown in galleries from Florida to California; she was selected to be the featured artist at Epcot Center’s International Flower and Garden Festival for 2008, and has been showcased in a number of publications including American Style, Florida Design, Palm Beach Design and Garden Design. Her unique blend of gilding paper and watercolor, as well as using traditional oils is revolutionizing surrealism and minimalism.
“Light, form and movement equal passion,” says Rachel. “Paintings should be used to set the mood of the room and to create a very serene yet still seductive area.” If any room should conjure up the emotion of passion it should be the bedroom and the décor has to relay that.
People are asking for something to bridge the gap between serenity and seduction. Intense color answers that call, and as an artist with a strong grasp of the power of color, Rachel is bridging that gap.
“The perception and effect of color depends on the context, the hues and contrast.” She explains. “You don’t explain color, you feel it. It is seductive, like an ocean wave or a gentle warm breeze. It is the dance of color, light and form breaking through emotion that I strive to capture in my paintings.”
Rachel’s award-winning paintings have been featured in several national magazines, including American Style, Florida Design, and Garden Design. Her work can be found in galleries, museum shops and high-end retailers throughout the country.
