Rebecca Moses Showcases Paintings of 8 Jazz Legends in Los Angeles<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

During COVID lockdown, Rebecca Moses got busy. In her home studio, the artist and fashion designer began painting healthcare professionals, an exercise that consummated in a traveling exhibition of 46 female portraits called \u201cThank You Mount Sinai Nurses.\u201d<\/a> Today, she\u2019s continued her oeuvre of depicting brave, talented women with \u201cVoices,\u201d her show on now at Ralph Pucci International in Los Angeles of vivid, 6-foot-tall paintings of eight jazz legends: Josephine Baker, Joyce Bryant, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Lena Horne, Hazel Scott, Nina Simone, and Sarah Vaughan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey\u2019ve all made a significant impact on my life, their ballads accompanying unforgettable moments in my journey,\u201d Moses says. \u201cThe canvas size was important because the women are larger than life. The boldness of color ties into the depth and emotion conveyed in their music.\u201d The works mark the artist\u2019s first use of such 3-D elements as leafing, rice paper, and rhinestone\u2014effects that help \u201cdepict each singer\u2019s multidimensionality.\u201d Accompanying the exhibit inside the gallery is \u201cStyle Energies,\u201d a series of murals painted directly on the fa\u00adcade that Moses says \u201creflect a new generation of strong, diver\u00adsi\u00adfied, and dynamic women that dance to their own tune.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
