When a brush strokes the touchscreen
Paintings in color and iPad by Moti Dariel
In the words of the artist, "Drawing on an iPad offers the magic of the touchscreen, where a simple swipe deletes an unwanted stroke of the virtual brush, leaving no incriminating trace or remorse.
However brush and fluid, tangible paints, the classic materials of painting, mimic the complexity of life versus the relatively impersonal quality of the digital medium. When a brush-on-canvas painting gets stuck and vitality ebbs from it, I transfer the painting to the iPad where I can explore new variations in composition and color. In the dialogue between the versions, new avenues emerge that can sometimes radically transform the painting, that has thus taken the lead.
Some of the works shown express opposition to violence and political repression, now widespread in the conflicts in our region, by allusion to mourning, anxiety and the need for resolve in the face of religious and racial fanaticism on all sides".
The exhibition is displayed in the Teddy Hall Lounge,
