RACHELLE MOZMAN
Bio
2006 Exhibition

Rachelle Mozman continues her highly acclaimed project of portrait photographs of girls and boys set in the private world of the newly developed and homogenous neighborhoods of American and Central American Exurbia. These new images from her native Panama, mirror the cool banality of the previous New Jersey settings while addressing the local experience of heightened class distinctions, and alluding to the Latin codification and veiled repression of gender identity. Where as the previous New Jersey portraits had a distinctly North American sensibility, quoting the subtle disturbing nature of Hitchcock or David Lynch's underbelly of normality, these new Panama portraits, provide the viewer a rich experience of color and psychological nuance reminiscent of the magic realism of the epic Columbian novelist, Gabriel García Márquez. As in her previous works, Mozman works to gain the trust of her models in order to create a natural view of the child's inner state. Her photographs are then subtly manipulated digitally, adding details and color in the surroundings while not altering the anatomy of the subjects themselves.

The run away success of Rachelle Mozman's exhibition, American Exurbia at Metaphor and Scope New York Art Fair, winter 2006, propelled her career into some of America's most prominent private collections gaining the attention of numerous museum curators. Rachelle Mozman earned her MFA from Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia in 1998. She has received numerous awards for her photography including a Fulbright Fellowship Award to Panama, a Perkins Center for the Arts, Award for Artistic Excellence, First prize in Photo Review and a New Jersey State Council on the Arts Individual Artist Fellowship. Additionally, Mozman's work has been exhibited in Panama, Mexico and Costa Rica as well as New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Miami.
