Re-Thinking Colours
You can use colour and shape and form to speak to people in a way that isn’t about a spoken language, it’s about emotion and inciting feelings that don’t have to be explained or expressed. It’s responsive, it’s instinctive, and a core part of all of us.
– Rachel Jones, 2021
who: Rachel Jones is a British visual artist, who has exhibited work in UK galleries The Tate, Thaddaeus Ropac and artist-in-residence at the Chinati Foundation (2019) & Masterworks museum of Bermuda.
what: Jones paintings uses colours without boundaries in a challenging way, resulting in artwork that awakens the imagination. The themes through use of bold colours, forms and shapes. juxtaposed and nuances to create art that is throught provoking and allows the viewer to make own own interpretation and ideas. Bringing duality into reality.
i need to like, im she uses colur because you can cross boundaries and there is no narratives, what you see is what comes to mind, you can express your thoughts. She also uses the col9ours to juxtapose emotions and themes, sanger and hapiness for example. Deep tones to express andger and brighter tones to express happiness.
I like the abstract foorms of her work because it reminds me of our wraps as it allows the imagination – you can create lods of designs, the tones within the wraps can be styled with anything – just like the freedom you find in her paintings – to express and explore ypur sense of style.

She keeps the shapes and forms simple but if you look closer there is more complexity – the closer you look the more you unravel,.
