This month on 'A Geography of Colour' I'm talking with painter Rema Ghuloum about her relationship with colour.
Rema is a contemporary American painter who lives and works in Los Angeles, CA.
She makes vibrant abstract paintings that have many layers, built up and sanded down to reveal their archaeologies.
Earlier this year Rema had her second solo show 4 is a Rainbow Line at Et al, a gallery in San Francisco. The gallery described her work as being ’an index of colour - woven, translucent layers singing with and through each other; spectral stratum, a chorus of colour. Rema’s work is heart-felt, joyous, devotional. The paintings sing.’
She received her BFA in Drawing and Painting from California State University, Long Beach in 2007 and her MFA from California College of the Arts in San Francisco in 2010. Rema has exhibited nationally and internationally and has been the recipient of multiple grants including the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant, the Joan Mitchell Foundation Grant, Davyd Whaley Foundation Artist-Teacher Grant, and the Esalen Pacifica Prize. Rema’s work has been reviewed in Art Forum, Hyperallergic, CARLA, the Los Angeles Times, Fabrik, among others.
Rema Ghuloum is represented by Philip Martin Gallery in Los Angeles.
