REVOLUTIONARY ART
Rachel Dolezal’s art is characterized by a RESOURCEFUL use of materials, a RESILIENT spirit, and a REVOLUTIONARY drive to challenge the norm. Her wide-ranging skills find freedom to rotate between varying styles, techniques and subject matter. Viewers often described an underpinning vibe that is evidenced in all of her work, a feeling of resonance with the collective human spirit and a celebration of the fundamental human act of creating.
As someone who wasn’t born visually “matching” the cause of racial and social justice, Rachel’s fight against oppression and racism through her art has met opposition from both sides of the Color Line. Nonetheless, she has won numerous awards for her art, advocacy leadership, and teaching.
RESOURCEFUL ART
Growing up without access to traditional art supplies, Rachel created with elk hide, eggshells, recycled magazine paper, and other found materials. Her current work showcases a mastery of her formal training in traditional materials, while also returning to her earlier resourceful use of materials -utilizing eggshells as a sub-texture for portraiture, creating color files with upcycled papers for collages, and molding elk hide into bas relief sculpture.
RESILIENT ART
Feelings of isolation and rejection characterized Rachel’s childhood and continue to influence much of her mature works, with most of her figurative pieces depicting a solitary figure, rather than a subject belonging to a group or community.
Dolezal’s exhibition career began in Jackson, Mississippi, where she had her first one-woman show at age 19 in the Smith Robertson Museum and sold her first original for $1250. At age 20, she was presented with the Michelangelo Award, an honor rarely bestowed to art students at Belhaven College. Showing in juried competitive shows for the next several years, Rachel’s work has been on display at the United Nations headquarters in New York, garnered multiple national awards, and landed in the permanent collections of Tougaloo College, Howard University and Belhaven College. Her work is also among many private and corporate collections.
