Raw Art Gallery is pleased to invite you to a gallery talk accompanying Yisrael Kabbala’s solo exhibition at Raw Art Gallery.

In a new series of works, Yisrael Kabbala returns to images he explored in the past. He deconstructs them, stretches their boundaries, and moves between concrete representation and abstraction. The works were created with pigments and acrylic emulsion, alongside the use of mixed techniques. At their center is the act of painting, constructed through layers of color, stains, splashes, drips, and linear marks. The color accumulates on the surface, is absorbed into it, or is removed from it, creating textures that shift between dark, dense areas and light, exposed surfaces.

The paintings are characterized by a limited color range.

Partial images take shape within the surfaces: organic forms, bodies, and marks moving between the tangible and the abstract. At times, the image is concentrated around a central form, and at other times it disperses across the canvas. Traces of the act of painting remain visible. They are erased, broken, and rebuilt as lacking or excessive; illuminated or darkened.

The painting focuses on the relationships between material, action, and image, and on the way painterly actions accumulate on the surface and take shape—or dissolve into formlessness.

✨ Everyone is invited ✨
