Paintings of the body. Made between Tel Aviv and Athens.

See the works

Oil, oil pastel and mixed media, on cotton, canvas and paper. The works on cloth are painted unstretched.

A square painting in a slim black frame on a white wall. The support is cloth pieced from panels — cream at the upper left, pink across the upper right, white along the bottom — the seams and creases visible. A nude is drawn over it in thin black brush line: a face in outline at the left with a red mark on it, an arm running down to a hand with drawn fingers at the lower left, and the body’s contour sweeping across the lower panel to a raised knee at the right. Across the pink field a mass of black, hot pink and cobalt blue is dragged, spattered and left to run. Signed in red at the lower centre.
A fragile sensual confidence

Detail of a painting on hot pink cotton: a hip and thigh worked in deep violet oil pastel, an arm laid across them and a hand drawn in a single dark line, with ochre, mint and turquoise marks around them. The raw stitched hem of the cloth runs along the bottom edge.
