Statement

Statement

Riel Noir is a multidisciplinary artist based in Glasgow.
Riel employs painting, photography, textiles and weaving as her mediums. Often her work reflects upon the way by which the Self is bound to society, and how these societies relate with one another, focusing upon the controls that are in place to maintain power.
Riel’s more intuitive work responds to her immediate environment and the quest to express herself in that moment.
At other times she simply wants to play, allowing colour and design to cleanse her soul, just as saffron will cleanse the palette. For her, all facets are relevant.
