Rachel Berkowitz
Charred Mountains- Contemporary Abstraction with Colorful Accent Highlights

2019

About the Item

"Charred Mountains" are part of Berkowitz's recent experimentation with abstract painting. These Illusions of Risk paintings turn into an escape from reality. The near monotone painting features colorful rainbow accents creating a dynamic composition. The work seeks to create a feeling rather than conveying a single message about the nature of risk-taking. The aim is to achieve a gambling feeling similar to a “machine zone,” where viewers become preoccupied and unaware of what initially attracted them. Additional research led to a deeper exploration of the psychology of gambling, the role of monetary rewards within consumer culture, and the seductive properties of colors and symbols.

  • Abstract 64 - Abstract Expressionist Mixed Media (Black + Yellow + Cream)
    By Helen Bellaver
    Located in Gilroy, CA
    "Abstract 64," is a contemporary Abstract painting by San Jose-based artist Helen Bellaver. In this work, Helen layers a medium onto her canvas or paper to create a subtle texture, which she then layers her acrylic paint on to create depth and detail. This work creates a sense of energy as the eye is drawn to the rich black and relieved by golden tones of cream as it intertwines itself into the foreground of the painting. Helen Bellaver is an abstract expressionist living in the San Francisco Bay Area, where she has been practicing for the last thirty years. Her work has evolved into expressions of black. To the artist, black brings her a sense of calm and is at the forefront of her works. She uses it as her foreground, and in the background, she has layers of creams, whites, blues, ochres, browns, reds, etc. The mark-making on her works comes directly from the genre of Abstract Expressionism...
