Signs of Life

Untitled, 2022. Acrylic on canvas, 170x175 cm.

Through large-scale dark paintings, Mirit Rahamim Lazar conveys the feeling of a dark and quiet street. The lights on in the windows of the buildings indicate the presence of a person, serving as signs of life that create a sense of human warmth in the darkness. The paintings depict the attraction of the eye to points of light. The use of dark acrylic colors contributes to conveying the experience of seeing at night, which includes effort and prolonged observation in order to identify the details.
