Rachael Catharine Anderson
OSGF
Interdisciplinary Residency, Five-Week, Session IV
Rachael Catharine Anderson is a 2022 MFA graduate from the Painting and Printmaking program in the Yale School of Art. She makes thematic oil paintings that relate emotional affect to environmental stimuli. Made intuitively and by direct observation of things in space, the paintings blur distinctions between thinking and feeling. Anderson’s care-full approach revels in enchantment and nuance, uncertainty, wonder, and worldly fascination.
In the fall of 2023, Anderson had her first solo exhibition at signs and symbols, followed by part two of this exhibition in the spring of 2024. Her work has been shown in Italy, Canada, and the United States, including at Jeffrey Deitch Gallery in New York. Her paintings are also included in major private collections in the US and Europe. She currently lives and works in New Haven, Connecticut.
In 2024, signs and symbols published Rachael Catharine Anderson: Paintings, the artists's first monograph featuring essays by Barry Schwabsky and Dr. Kathy Battista.
