Mitchell Rodbell creates resplendent nature-inspired paintings. With an exuberant color palette and gestural, tactile brushstrokes he produces rhythmic compositions that exude feelings of enchantment, bliss and harmony.
Mitchell’s idyllic paintings transcend their aesthetic beauty, physical depiction, and sense of time and space. Images of fleeting moments of atmospheric luminosity adorned with poetic interludes transport us from the ordinary to the sublime.
With masterful proficiency Mitchell captures the palpable experience of being present in the outdoors. He provides us with a restorative visceral response to the locale rather than merely being an observer of a literal, photographic type of representation. His art serves to remind us to relax and explore, discover, and cherish the deeper aspects that exist in the natural world.
Mitchell has developed his own inimitable signature style fueled by his technical prowess and purposeful intention. His versatile portfolio offers a plethora of awe-inspiring subjects that range from exhilarating, close-up flower-inspired paintings such as “Rhapsody in Bloom” and “Gardens of Provence” to serene landscapes and seascapes viewed from distant shores, as shown in “Bay of Sitka”. This soothing painting, in tranquil shades of blues and greens, was inspired by the mountains of Alaska.
Mitchell’s palette reflects his innate understanding of color theory and its life-affirming healing modalities. His vibrant and clear hues evoke a spirit of joie de vivre. He applies color with a spontaneous interplay of expressive brush strokes and directs us through a myriad of animated visual realms. He also enlivens his compositions with a sense of chromatic balance, shifts, and contrasts, much like a well-orchestrated symphony.
In addition to color, his exquisite, curvilinear shapes and their lyrical forms also serve to intensify the emotive depth of his art. Furthermore, his creative process is infused with charactristics inspired by Post Impressionism, Matisse, Derain, and Hockney.
It is worth noting that although this Art Review features Mitchell’s art from his series of large-scale acrylic paintings on canvas, he also offers original watercolors, and art in different sizes and substrates in addition to art prints.
