Season 11/12
- Noam Omer, Painting and Drawing
-
- 22.9.11 – 18.11.11Lucian & Me: In similarity to Lucian Freud - whose portrait figures in the present collection - Noam Omer shows an obsessive interest in human face, flesh and skin. Still, Omer's acrylic paintings and charcoal drawings don’t render, or manipulate or penetrate the flesh but rather, the "negative" of the flesh, transforming the meaty, greasy, sensual reality into an almost airy phenomenon, devoid of weight and physical consistency.
- Zeev Gross, Painting and Collage
-
22.9.11 – 18.11.11
The Blind Woundmaker: Using industrial paint, milk and collage technique, the works of Zeev Gross reveal a rocky, arid and barren landscape. The traces of human presence appear as opaque black stains - images that are almost sterile and somewhat engineered. Gross depicts an illusion of place, interweaving with an apocalyptic ecological prophecy. Guest curator: Yehudit Matzkel.
- Ori Levin, Light and Sound
-
22.9.11 – 18.11.11
Tit for Tat: Suspense, action, melodrama, slapstick and horror in a small space. Named after a short silent movie of Laurel and Hardy, the "Tit for Tat" installation creates magic moments of light and sound, where Ori Levin examines the film apparatus with a grin "Tit for Tat" is the first PROJECT ROOM exhibition in Kayma Gallery, open to art students and experimental projects.
- Gad Tik, Painting and Drawing
-
17.11.11 – 7.1.12
"The Blue Soldier and My little Sister" presents oil paintings on canvas and mixed technique drawings on paper selected from the last decade: colorful everyday life scenes saturated with a strange, perverse atmosphere, where human beings are united by their impossibility to communicate. Gad Tik's vigorous brush and exuberant imagination merge pathos with satire, eroticism with history, dark humor with radical social critique.
- Daniel Lehman, Ink on paper
-
17.11.11 – 7.1.12
"Random Constructions" presents for the first time in Israel a selection of Daniel Lehman's finest drawings on paper. Active in stage setting, experimental cinema, oulipian writing and linguistic game creation, the Belgian artist uses his Memory as only model – "that single wholeness that defines me, scattered over manifold pasts, my own and those of others". With a pen and Indian ink, Lehman creates series of intricate black and white configurations playing with visible and invisible shapes: a delight for the eye and the intellect.
