Opening reception for artist Israel Feldman at Agora Gallery, New York, 2018.
Born and raised in Israel, the artist uses raw pigment and natural materials like lime to create abstract works and rich, searing landscapes. Instead of carefully mapping out each piece, Feldman waits for inspiration, letting the paint guide him through the process. He discovers the work as he goes, melding colors and layers on top of one another until the final image reveals itself. Feldman uses the work to forge a connection between this world and his inner spiritual life. Like the inherent beauty of the countryside, the work is quiet and mysterious, hinting at some greater purpose. A closer look reveals a rich, textured surface like the shores of some forgotten world. Natural materials give his works a living quality, tying them to the earth and all its resources. Just as a wave could wash the shore away, his paintings feel as fragile and as fleeting as the world around them. Speaking from the heart, Israel Feldman reminds us to appreciate such moments of beauty while they last.
