"This is Where We Dwell" Oil on Canvas 18" x 32"
Rachel Garcìa Shank is an up and coming artist residing in Covington, Louisiana. She graduated from LSU with an art degree in 2011. For the most part, her body of work focuses on nature.
In this particular piece entitled, "This is Where we All Dwell" a certain depthness seems to radiate not only within itself, but also within its name. It is easy to imagine those words being whispered throughout the canvas, and suddenly turning into this loud echo as the viewer finally understands its intrinsic purpose. It is simultaneously a referent and a sepulcher. It is life and death. It is a cyclical entity of colors with it's reds, although not as predominately placed by the surrounding cooler blues and blacks, embodies this idea of identity. It's like blood, in that it is completely and genetically unique to this world. This piece truly is a geological treasure, hidden in the rough of a thousand other striving artists.
It is evident that Rachel Garcìa Shank, although still at the early stages of her artistic career has potential for greatness. To see more of her collection, follow her on facebook: R.G. Shank
