A Time To Turn 2014

Rochelle Blumenfeld’s painting, “A Time To Turn”, presents us with a square canvas dominated by ethereal forms. The artwork evokes a sense of movement and transformation through its dynamic composition and blurred brushstrokes. The painting is structured around contrasting areas of dark and light. Notice how the lower portion consists of rich, earthy tones that ground the composition, while the upper area features translucent shapes. These shapes appear to float and intersect. The artist has used a muted palette with hints of white to create a sense of depth and layering. These visual elements function semiotically, suggesting a transition from the material world to a more ephemeral, spiritual realm. The composition challenges fixed meanings, reflecting the flux and fluidity of existence. This work encourages us to consider how art can engage with new ways of thinking about space, perception, and the representation of change. The very structure of the painting invites ongoing interpretation, reminding us that art’s meaning evolves with each viewing.
