Galleri Urbane will present Indiana artist Rachel Hellmann for a solo show, "The Shape of Color," featuring fluorescent-painted relief sculptures, paintings, and an analogous mural. This body of work echoes her recent paintings and installation at the Rockwell Museum in New York, "Leaning Toward the Sun," which will be up through March 2023. These pieces provoke ephemeral conversations of light and assumed dimensionality between various mediums.
Hellmann employs rare bioluminescent colors found in the natural world with the exactitude of architectural forms in her sculptures. Paintings on paper directly correlate to the sculptures, stretching Hellmann’s examination of color into the tangible. Thoughtfully planned and redrawn, she will show paintings up to 52 x 52 in. These studies on paper deceive dimensions in the absence of physical depth.
Using poplar wood and MDF, the artist bends individual segments into architectural forms, which she then joins with adhesives. Following her highly intuitive process, Hellmann paints "Shapes of Color." Floating with a luminescent halo, the sculptures fold away from the wall. Contrasting hues exhibit subtle illusions of indiscernible depth.
Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on view through July 2.
