Rachel Lumsden's large format works engage us in a highly immersive experience. Paintings that
at first glance appear to be figurative also pursue the goal of abstraction albeit one that
finds meaning in its relationship with the visible world. Lumsden's visual motifs emerge brush
mark for brush mark on the canvas eventually converging with their true subject matter through
her adept handling of material and astonishing pictorial inventiveness. The publication
includes works from the last seven years and is released on the occasion of her solo exhibition
at the art centre Villa Bernasconi Geneva Switzerland.
