Exhibition - Contrasts & Conflicts
Curated by Veronica Regini
---------------------------------------------
With no fears GALI SZENKIER analyzes all the creases of a love relationship, with lucid courage she unveils and portrays the complexity of the lovers verbal and non-verbal communication.
For her, conflict is represented by the love-hate state affecting a persons mind and action. The struggle which grows out of two opposing forces, in this case, man versus woman.
The artist has a great ability of mixing the family cosiness represented by bright happy colours in a mixed media technique with the metaphoric representation of the unspoken world of our deepest feelings.
She uses elements of ethnic art inspired by cultures from around the world in contrast with deliberate brush marks so as to create visual interest, sexual tension and drama; she also sometimes introduces feminist symbolism representing the female point of view within a relationship.
