Fascinated by the complexity and subjective nature of human perception, Gerri Rachins uses color to initially attract viewers to the painting. In each painting, the interactions between elements of color, shape and pictorial space are often intentionally rendered with ambiguity, in an effort to undermine "first glance" assumptions.

Gerri Rachins
At times, the "POPROCK" paintings appear to be flat two-dimensional collages, projecting slightly out from the wall, hovering with uncertainty into the viewer's actual three-dimensional space.
The origin for these paintings began with a walk on a beach in Miami. My eyes were attracted to small bits of bright colors in the vast beige field of beach sand. This visual experience reminded me of looking at a roll of unprimed canvas stretched out on the floor, with small colored jewels dispersed throughout. / Gerri Rachins
