Rachael Neubauer: New Work
Rena Bransten Gallery, San Francisco
November 21, 2002 - January 4, 2003
Rena Bransten Gallery presents an exhibit of new sculptures and drawings by Rachael Neubauer. Neubauer's new sculptures continue to dazzle and puzzle viewers. Their references seem always just out of thought-range - are they organic, technical, figurative, sub-cellular, models, jewelry or furniture? Neubauer describes the new works "as meditations on the material and the desirable." Using drawings to establish a conceptual framework, she invents a visual vocabulary of form, shape and color fusing imagery and source material. The resulting imagery is mysterious yet not unfamiliar, not predetermined but in the process of revealing itself.
Rachael Neubauer earned her MFA at Ohio State University and received a scholarship to Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. She received the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art's SECA Award in 2000 and the Art Council Grant in 1999. Her work is included in the collections of Berkeley Art Museum, University of California, Berkeley, M.H. de Young Memorial Museum, Fine Arts Museums, San Francisco, The Oakland Museum, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
