Saturday, March 2nd from 6-9pm experience the Opening Reception of Shai Yehezkelli’s solo exhibition ‘Maarava‘. Mindy Solomon Gallery is proud to introduce to the United States the solo exhibition debut of Tel Aviv-based artist Shai Yehezkelli.

He was born in Jerusalem in 1979 and resides in Tel Aviv. Raised as an Orthodox Jew, Yehezkelli no longer practices at that level of observance, but continues to be fascinated by the objects associated with ritual practice. The title of Shai’s show, Maarava, means Westward. The West signifying an opportunity to disconnect from the intensity of continued introspection that is the plight of the artist, compounded by living in the fish bowl of Israel and the Middle East. His work is very much about identity and place, and the ongoing search for a sense of home in the world. Yehezkelli’s paintings often reflect a humorous irony. The kind of effect one experiences when receiving joyous news tinged with sorrow. Deeply mystical and gestural, some images feel like simple sketches while others are heavily impasto paintings with multiple layers. Moving and sentimental, Yehezkelli invites the viewer to experience a multiplicity of emotions much like a visit to the holy land.
