From Ivory Vault:
“Raphael Umscheid is an Austin-based painter whose work delves into the realms of identity, mystery, and the connection between humans and the natural world. With a style that blends romantic sensibilities with a touch of surrealism, Umscheid creates evocative oil paintings that invite introspection and contemplation. His work often features figures intertwined with lush foliage, exploring themes of inner landscapes and the transformative power of nature and self. Umscheid’s paintings are characterized by their rich color palettes, expressive brushwork, and a dreamlike atmosphere that transports viewers to a world where the boundaries between self and environment blur. ‘Virescent’ marks Umscheid’s first solo exhibition, showcasing his unique vision and inviting viewers to embark on a journey of self-discovery through the vibrant, painted forests he creates.”
