Rana Rochat Atlanta-based painter, Rana Rochat, returns to Seattle with her second solo exhibition at Winston Wachter Fine Art. Rochat’s encaustic paintings explore a spontaneous abstraction based on an intuition and instinct. Each seeks a fragile balance between order and chaos, with non-specific forms and shapes moving through the painting field.

Having neither a foreground not background, Rochat’s work exists as it’s own transparent and luminous environment. Her marks move through space in a “stream of consciousness” approach that reminds one of a novel, where bits and pieces of imagery are layered throughout.

Within an environment of deep light and color, Rochat creates an experience that is pre-verbal, promoting pictorial awareness before language or narrative has processed the visual information. There is a freshness to Rochat’s paintings, allowing the viewer a chance to let their imaginations wander as they follow the circuitous lines meandering in and around the fields, washes and points of color.
