Avi Sabah

Oil, color pencils and synthetic fur, 37x27 cm. 2014

On a paper saturated with oil, Sabah paints a curtain‪ ‪that rises above an imaginary landscape‪, unveiling an atmosphere of an occurrence. It seems as though this work touches on fragments of memories‪, and was created to evoke contemplation. Traces of a human presence emerge against an obscure and monochromatic backdrop, but there are no figures visible. In the right corner we see the remains of a bonfire and broken words float alongside it. Above that, trampled plants, tracks in the sand and a mountain landscape that no human has ever set foot on‪.
