We have already mentioned that Tel Aviv is the largest center of commercial and cultural life in Israel. In this post we wish to introduce to you one (out of several) gay artists who live and create in Tel Aviv.
IRIT RABINOWITS was born in 1969 and is a graduate of the Be'er-Sheva College of Visual Arts, where she studied from 1989 through 1992.
She worked as an art instructor for children and as a book illustrator, publishing two children books with her illustrations (1992, 2003).
Irit took part in the several group exhibitions in addition to three solo exhibitions.
Taken from the artist's web site home page is the following information:
"Irit Rabinowits'art deals with the process of defining a sexual identity, starting with early adolescence in the blue painting series, which are painted in cold and reserved colors conveying a sensation of detachment and isolation;
Through the revelation and enjoyment derived from the beauty and sexuality of the female body in the wood painting series, which are warm-color paintings drawn on wood;
And finally in the Naive painting series which simply celebrates love within an intimate relationship in a colorful and joyful manner.
We love Irit's art very much and it was very hard to choose one painting among all her works, so we have finally picked the one above, at the top of this post, which we hope will make you curious to learn more about this artist. It is one of her Naive Painting Series and its titled: Couple on a sofa / 2003.
