It is a freeze-frame glimpse inside a confusing, but whimsical arrangement that fools the eye with its askew perspective. The artist says no. Reality is of no importance in her most dynamic and playful works, the mixed media Constructions. Rochelle actually creates two kinds of Constructions. Even workshop paint samples and doodles inspire new creations.
Nothing is wasted.
Using her imagination, she takes the discards and produces the Constructions. Often immense in size, these works afford her the opportunity to add a new dimension to the already complex spatial configurations which are so basic to her art. Again, the addition of reflective metal pieces confounds the reality of the surface. Rochelle Stefanovic' will continue to create works of art that express her constant need for exploration and experimentation, She sees art, like life, as a process with its own natural rhythm, but full of the unexpected, With each new series that emerges, there is the promise of fascinating subjects transformed into her own unique painterly compositions and surprising constructions.
