Eyal Danieli "in the mood for love"
Elizabeth Harris Gallery
This event has ended.
The Elizabeth Harris Gallery presents In the Mood for love, a selection of paintings by Eyal Danieli. This is the artist's first exhibition with the gallery. This exhibition is comprised of oils on canvas that range in size from small to large and incorporate the imagery and preoccupations that Danieli has been involved with in the past few years. Applying a similar methodology to the paintings as he has to his graphic work, Danieli repeats and returns to the same motifs, profusely re-addressing them in various formats.
Having grown up in Israel, in a militaristic environment and culture scarred by persecution and genocide, and immersed and mired in continuing violent conflict, Danieli eschews dogmatic and rigid political statement in search of images that express notions and emotions of a self-contradictory identity of both victim and victimizer. His paintings operate as metaphors for aggression and victim-hood, and convey the blurring of these definitions, simultaneously combining the notion of terrorizing while being terrorized.
