The paintings in this exhibition fall roughly into 2 series. The first, from a body of work created in 1980 and 1981 that Rapaport refers to as the Convergence series. The second series is entitled, A New Chapter and was created during the years 2014 through 2018. The common motif that ties the paintings together is a pour of paint that creates a single broken band of color centrally located on the canvas on either solid color grounds or pillow-soft, ethereal sprays of diffused paint. The bands of color range from a single or up to three or four colors poured adjacent to, or on top of one another.
