This is a painting exhibition centered around a large-scale painting that contains time-planes, depth of gaze, and material presence. The exhibition features three artists: Smadar Elyasaf, Hagit Rubinstein, and Boaz Barkani — representing three generations within the Israeli art scene. Each of them offers, in their own way, a unique interpretation of the experience we call art and painting.

My curatorial perspective is that of an artist immersed in the world of drawing, looking toward the nearby yet distinct world of painting.

I wish the viewer a rich experience in engaging with the artworks presented.

Turtles Beyond the River
A large painting, a painting with planes of time.
The river of envy. The gaze’s volume. Sight grows drowsy again,
concerning forms and solutions,
concerning a narrative lacking story.
A butterfly flutters its wings.
A rhythmic ant from the cosmos,
and a swimmer in a basin of clay.
