hot pink architecture

This collage, in fucsia and text, resembles buildings in the sunshine. It is a celebration of architecture and form, with shadows suggesting heat, and the whiteness of text-printed magazine paper evoking the brightness of the sun. Nobody lives here - or do they? Look closely and you'll see snippets of narratives near and far, objects, body parts, textiles and more. It is both a blank and a saturated space. An assembly of all the fragments of media and advertising that we often glance at or miss altogether, but it is everywhere in our world and here I have tamed it into shape.

I am a multi media artist born in Haifa. I paint, draw, and make abstract paper collages from hand-cut magazines. I like abstracts: geometric patterns, colour transitions and chaotic arrangements. This extends to my love for painting 'backgrounds', which have become nebula paintings. I like sparkles, kitsch, pretty scenes and figures but especially when accompanied by jarring detail. This is self reflexive romantic projection. When collaging, I love the way I can never run out of material to cut up, with lots of luscious detail and random words. This kind of cut-and-paste is always giving me new ideas. The other side of the piece of paper is often just perfect. My gallery reflects a fixation with maximalism, patterns , and colour transitions, whether in acrylic or in paper mosaic, or both.
