Rebecca
Gabriel’s SHADOW MURAL book, chronicles the trompe l’oeil shadow she conceived and executed, with her
team, on the back wall of the Elks Lodge #1586, located at 101 N. Main St. in Brighton, Colorado. The mural duplicates the shape
and gray color (though somewhat lighter) of the cast shadow projected from the metal
staircase and balcony, affixed to the wall. This was planned to coincide with a celebratory date and a site specific time.
The date is August 1st, National Colorado Day, 2024. The time the mural was traced was 2:48 p.m., an ideal time
of the afternoon to capture the staircase and balcony shadow in their most clear and dramatic position. Gabriel’s SHADOW MURAL is possibly a first of its kind.
Her book tracks the passage of time in approximately half hour increments, over approximately a 5 hour span. The photos thus
reveal a pas de deux between the artist’s concept painting, and the movement of the sun from 1:42 p.m., just
as the sun crests the tall Elk’s building in the west, to 6:51 p.m., as the sun begins to set. As the pages are turned, one can see the cast shadow of the stairs and the balcony
shrink, as the sun gets lower in the west, while the painted shadow remains constant. On the final pages, as the sun is about
to set, the light hits Gabriel’s back. Thus her own cast shadow merges with the painted mural and the last narrow glimpse
of actial shadow from the stairs and balcony. This is perhaps an understated crescendo to an ingenious work of art. SHADOW MURAL by Rebecca Gabriel is pending publication by WellStone Press Fall 2024

Gabriel towards her own imaginative core. Her journey has been very
rich indeed as she has inched closer and closer to things that will never be understood." John Seed, Introduction Available at independent bookstores, Barnes & Noble, and

Dafna Navarro, CEO of ART MARKET MAGAZINE writes: "Rebecca Gabriel's
work brings forward the profound and emotional-created by her high quality technique, based on the Master's Renaissance period. She is committed to representing the female
aspect with depth and orginality. This is done beautifully and admirably
by synthesizing both realism and chaotic abstraction." ART MARKET MAGAZINE - Issue #46 Featured

and push the portrait towards a mysterious and expressive state. I never know how the elements will manifest in the immediacy
of the process, which is intuitive and random. I am trying to break through the scrim of realistic portraiture, and bring
it towards another realm. My process combines realism and psychology with random forces of nature. When successful, the image
conveys an authenticity that is both, contemplative, original, and perhaps transformative. WORLD
