July is almost over, and I must say that I’m pretty impressed by the quality of the exhibitions this summer. Don’t you have that feeling sometimes that some galleries are just throwing together some pieces of their collection to “create” an exhibition over the summer without any curatorial considerations? But like I said so far so good, the art galleries in Tel Aviv are presenting powerful shows, with interesting content and strong artworks.
As I did not publish an art guide last week, I decided to list today among some fresh openings, the exhibitions that I really enjoyed attending recently. I highly recommend visiting the Alon Segev Gallery for their exhibition “Releasing a Butterfly” presenting artworks by Toony Navok and Eitan Ben Moshe. Even though the style of both artists is very different, Navok’s drawings and Ben Moshe’s sculpture are interacting very well, successfully bringing together the earthy colours of the drawings with the ice cold tones of the sculptures. A very lyrical show.
