Michal Na’aman
Est: $15,000 - $20,000
Pre-Figuration, 2007, Oil, masking tape and mixed technique on canvas, 190x150 cm. Signed, titled, and dated on the reverse. To watch a video about Michal Na’aman's works, click here Michal Naaman (b. 1951) is one of the leading Israeli artists today and has received extensive recognition in Israel and worldwide. From the beginning of her career, she established herself as a conceptual artist dealing with challenging subjects such as politics, religion, and gender. Her work is filled with philosophical questions, paradoxes, and puzzles, infused with humor and a sense of anxiety. Already in 1974, she gained prominence with the iconic work "The Eyes of the State, " which addressed the Yom Kippur War. In 1982, she represented Israel at the Venice Biennale and also held solo exhibitions in New York during those years. In the late 1990s, Naaman began creating a body of work using masking tape, which became her signature and was featured prominently in her solo exhibition "The Colors" at the Tel Aviv Museum in 1999. In these works, Naaman weaves strips of masking tape in layers, revealing and covering areas, creating a complex geometric structure reminiscent of a DNA helix. Combined with fluid colors, the masking tape takes on the character of skin with scars and wrinkles. At the center of her work often appears an expression or a statement that she wishes to ponder and challenge, sometimes accompanied by a humorous twist. Within the works, Naaman embeds hints, symbols, and quotes that seem like a code for the viewer to decipher, yet she mainly leaves them as questions. Despite being a student of Raffi Lavie, a leading figure in conceptual art and material poverty in the local scene, Naaman developed her own artistic language, where the materiality of the works holds significant weight alongside linguistic play and broad references to history and culture. In the painting "Pre Figuration" from 2007, Naaman references a concept from Christian theology, suggesting that hints to Jesus's pre-incarnation life can be found in the Torah. From the tapestry of masking tape emerges an abstract figure in shades of purple, resembling the dignitaries of the Catholic Church, surrounded by red drips, perhaps representing the pope's cloak or the color of blood. Also noticeable is the recurring figure of the white rabbit in Naaman's paintings, adding a layer of humor to the existential questions she presents in her works. Naaman was won the Israel Prize (2014), the Sandberg Prize (2002), the Dizengoff Prize (1998), and numerous other awards. She has held two significant solo exhibitions at the Tel Aviv Museum and participated in dozens of additional exhibitions. Her works are found in the collections of the Israel Museum, the Tel Aviv Museum, as well as many other public and private collections, enjoying great popularity among collectors. Shlomit Oren
