About The Artwork
Winner of the Jackson Painting Prize in the Abstract category, 2020 London Available from the end of January due to an exhibition This painting began in Africa. It was a mistake how bring me into Kigali in Rwanda, i didn't wont to fell there holocaust, I have one at home, bat my bag from flight lost on my way . I felt so existent in Rwanda. After a day I went to Uganda , Lake Bunyonyi, with sketch paper I start this painting in a local House that I made it as a studio with the line I cared with me all the way. 14 days with tempera color, French tempera, and then long way in my studio at the port of Haifa. The painted landscape is severed from the original geographical setting and in this process of destruction and neutralization of the initial site, something different is formed. One can find a reference to the landscape - the horizon line, the sky and the earth - but the painting cannot be grasped and it remains open to interpretation. The viewer encounters a wide range of brush strokes and colors, dots and lines forming a lucid context. The painting stretches from right to left, up and down, inside and out, without any coherence, going through a universal experience of eternal existence, endlessness, life and death, tranquility and compassion - all of which rely on the reference to the city Kigali and the pain she cared.

### About the Artist: Zohar Cohen **Born:** 1969 **Profession:** Painter **Artistic Style:** Zohar Cohen creates large canvases filled with color, characterized by a unique color vibration between strokes. Using small, dense strokes, he layers colors to evoke light and mood. His work often hints at its sources through the titles of the pieces, such as the Kigali series, inspired by his time in Rwanda. **Creative Process:** Zohar begins with a pictorial idea tied to a specific geographical location, observing lines and spots that emerge directly on the canvas. While the main idea is maintained in the studio, there is a deliberate process of disconnecting from the original place, leading to the creation of something entirely new through destruction and neutralization. **Viewer Experience:** Viewers can engage with Zohar's paintings in two distinct ways: 1. Focusing on the molecular units, like observing through a microscope, to see items forming a uniform, sensual, and abstract fabric. 2. Observing from afar to experience the overall struggle and harmony within the piece. Zohar's use of harmonious coloring is meticulously calculated, weaving dots, lines, and painted stripes into a cohesive and deeply connected work of art. Over the years, Zohar has developed a series of interior paintings featuring a figure within a room. These works serve as focal points, with ripples of color bursting from outside, disrupting the interior tranquility of the painting.
