Wellstone Press is excited to announce the new release of APPEARANCES – EXPERIMENTAL PORTRAITURE, by Gold List Award artist, Rebecca Gabriel. This is a groundbreaking collection which includes 30 full-color reproductions and text by Gabriel in which she describes her creative process.
The book explores aspects of the human condition through Gabriel's unique and evolving visual language. Excerpts from Walt Whitman and Shakespeare serve as a prologue and afterward.
The introduction, by art critic John Seed (author of "Disrupted Realism), sums up Gabriel's accomplishment well. He writes: "Finding ways to try and express the mysteries of others through portraiture has taken Rebecca Gabriel towards her own imaginative core. Her journey has been very rich indeed as she has inched closer and closer to things that will never be understood."
APPEARANCES – EXPERIMENTAL PORTRAITURE is available at your independent bookstore, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon for $24.95. Wellstone Press also published Gabriel's previous book WOMAN'S JOURNEY - A LIFE IN PAINTINGS.
