Nurit David confuses "here," which includes the landscapes of Haifa and Tel Aviv, with a classical Japanese "there," insistently attempting to reformulate her family past in terms of a new, glorious fiction. Her new works evince the artist's shift from more traditional figurative painting to illusionist painting, which prefers the flatness of modernism. The series of works shown in the exhibition evoke the sense of a disintegrating, unsettled world.
They are scenes suffused with a mysterious aura – landscapes and architectures of the soul, shimmering with the air of dreams or nightmares, beautiful, disturbing, painful, and haunting. The act of painting becomes a game of conceptual and emotional hide-and-seek, ambiguity lurking in its depths.
