Eleanor Rahim: Open Studios May 2009

A Word About The Website Pic

During one of our regular chats at our studio building, fellow artist and friend Frederic Choisel kept looking down at my legs. Being a well mannered Parisian gentleman, I thought this a bit odd and figured I must be spilling water from my paintbrush pot onto his studio floor. Suddenly, he told me not to move and dashed off to get his camera. I loved the pictures he took and selected this one to be on my website. Yes, a bit risque perhaps but I think he just captured something of me and my time at my art studio. Bravo Frederic!

“As a Feng Shui consultant and integrative designer, I look for specific representation and metaphor in artwork. The first time I saw a piece of Eleanor’s work, [Fluid State] I was struck first by its movement, which can be very effective in energizing a particular area of one’s life or business if it is placed prescriptively. The other aspect which I found potent, is her use of color. Color interprets the ‘five elements’ or what is referred to as ‘agents of change’ in feng shui. 'Fluid State' is primarily whites and blues - the metal and water elements. Metal represents virtue, communication, joy and creativity. Water is associated with wisdom, one’s path in life and finances. I immediately thought I love this piece and what a powerful adjustment it would make for my client.”
