Peach Chair, Red Wall, Green Floor
In this oil pastel work on paper, a centrally-placed plastic chair takes on a regal solemnity thanks to geometric repetition and a perfect balance of light peach, rust, and green hues.
Rachel Domm investigates the physical boundaries between our bodies and the items we buy, wear, consume and inhabit. By giving familiar objects larger-than-life proportions and luminous colors, Domm imbues them with surprising mystery. But Domm’s intimate renderings also communicate our deep need for respite from the dizzying proliferation of products and images that constantly vie for our attention.

Rachel Domm investigates the physical boundaries between our bodies and the items we buy, wear, consume and inhabit. She enlivens common or familiar objects by giving them larger-than-life proportions and luminous, vivid colors that add mysterious overtones and animism. Curves, folds, mounds, cavities, and shadows create sculptural presences that invoke analogous, corporeal forms. By lingering on these quiet, grounded moments, Domm’s intimate renderings also communicate a deep need for respite from the dizzying proliferation of products and images constantly vying for our attention.
