Living Color
Vitrina Gallery, Holon Institute of Technology, group exhibition
Curators: Yamit Newman and Pazit Keidar
Warm/Cool Diptych displays the effect of colors on each other. The work is a personal experiment in color. In each panel of the work, a rule leads the connection between the colors systematically and allows a comparison of the effect of warm colors or cold colors on the scale of browns which are permanent.
The works in the Fabricated Landscape Series are inspired by landscapes that I have experienced or that others have experienced and shared on social media. While working, things get mixed together, their landscapes with mine, and I ask myself again what are the basic elements of a landscape? For example, what is horizon line of a seascape, how do the sky and the water meet? While working, there is one personal experience that repeats itself a lot in my thoughts. When I was a kid, I used to go to a certain beach in California with my mom and her friends. You had to go down a very steep and unorganized path to get to the beach and the beach itself was very narrow. As a child I was very afraid of the tide, I was very afraid that the water would come too close and we wouldn't be able to get back up the path. There was a kind of tension between my fear and my mother's desire to continue to stay and enjoy the sea. A kind of slope appears in seven of the eight works participating in the exhibition. The landscape of my childhood abroad was also very mountainous and in contrast to where I live today.
