Rachelle Kearns

Rachelle Kearns is an artist passionate about the magic of light at play, creating enchantingly luminous works that capture equally the mystical and the mundane.

Kearns skilfully allows the viewer to focus on the out of focus; to draw in a fractional moment in time when the ordinary temporarily becomes an intoxicating, crystalline, visual symphony. The artist’s work captures the intrinsic movement of light glittering off water, chandeliers dancing above a room or a subtle city of stars descending at days end. Utilizing a combination of abstract and lyrical expressionism, Kearns evokes wistful serenity brought forth through effervescent, translucent spheres of soft, multi layered hues, the effect of which is theatrical and otherworldly. It is through dramatic composition, contrast and cohesion that Kearns so gracefully produces chromatic visual music in such a way as to render the subject matter at once non-figurative and highly familiar. The illusion becomes not an illusion at all but rather an expertly choreographed homage to light.
