Rhona Vinokur explores the nuances of colour, usually working within the confines of a limited palette. She enhances and sensualizes that palette through her use of various textures to capture light and shadow in her abstract and semi-abstract canvasses. She uses the language of colour, light and space which interact to create the moods and the mysteries, the chaos and the order of the mind. Applying mixed media in a free-form technique, she spontaneously works the materials until the desired images emerge. Vinokur’s work is intuitive, not pre-planned at all, and when she applies paint to canvas, it is her subconscious that is guiding her hands.

“I usually play jazz, very loudly, when I paint.” Vinokur says. “This helps me to enter what I like to call ‘the Zone’. In ‘the Zone’, everything else disappears and it is just me, the rhythm of the music, and the canvas. It’s a great place to be!”

Vinokur’s paintings have been displayed at solo and group exhibits, art fairs, galleries, libraries, and are included in private and corporate collections across Canada and in the United States.
