Rachel von Morgenstern works on translucent polyester canvases, which are themselves stretched on heavy stretcher frames. With preferably vivid colors and hues of acrylic paint von Morgenstern develops intriguing arrangements of color and spatiality, transparency and opacity in gentle and dynamic gestures. Her compositions oftentimes appear light and elegant yet determined in the way elements such as gestural brushstrokes or abstract undefined shapes are placed and color nuances chosen. Her painterly pictorial settings brilliantly evoke the suspenseful ambiguity of painting between its very material surface and illusion of pictorial space.
Rachel von Morgenstern lives and works in Frankfurt am Main. After finishing her diploma at the HFG Offenbach in 2013, she continued her studies with a masterstudents degree at the AdbK Karlsruhe. Afterwards she was sponsored with a residency scholarship at the Opelvillen Rüsselsheim. Her works have been shown in solo shows in Frankfurt am Main especially at the gallery Filiale, and in art associations throughout Germany, also she was featured in group shows in Berlin, Munich, Vienna, and Los Angeles.
