Exploring Color

October 22, 2009 7:38 PM

Rachell Sumpter takes color and detail to the extreme in her art exhibits, reminiscent of Fantasia in a sense. Sumpter is developing quite the portfolio as demonstrated at the Richard Heller Gallery.

Her painting Finery reminds me of the Great Pacific Garbage Vortex, unfortunately.

So, that first link is pretty cool and everything, but it also looks a lot like a desktop image for Windows 7.

I suppose that turns out to be a compliment to Microsoft.

Well, I loved the paper cover of the monster cover.

So, how do I get one of these onto my wall? Place to order prints? Version of these in a good resolution?

Floam, follow the Sumpter link. Jen Beckman's gallery sells really nice prints for between 20-2000 dollars. I bought a print from her gallery and it is really vivid and did not disappoint. I still really want this photo on my wall too now that I'm looking.

The 20x200 pages is a good bookmark. It looks like Rachell's work has shown up twice before and might show up again.

Three years ago, Rachell Sumputer made pictures for my blog, illustrating songs by Cat Power, Smog and the Silver Jews.
