RACHAEL BOS
Rachael Bos (b.1999, Salt Lake City, UT) lives and works in Chicago, Illinois.
Bos’ paintings of oil on canvas depict olympic-level athletes often in mid-motion. Muscles and uniforms such as leotards, tennis skirts, and ribbons are contrasted in these deadpan works that highlight the cultural phenomenon that is professional sports. Bos taps into this obsession, in relation to how, and the vigor in which she collects source material for the project. Both scanning and screenshotting images from vast sources, and often focusing on particular athletes or eras.
Her work has been exhibited at venues such as Hans Gallery, Chicago IL; Nathalie Karg Gallery, New York, NY; Sulk Chicago, Chicago IL; No Gallery, New York, NY; The Hole, New York, NY; The Material Room, Richmond, VA; Galerie Rolando Anselmi, Rome, Italy; and de boer, Los Angeles, CA.
