“The painter appears to capture his subject at an outwardly ephemeral and fleeting point in time, nevertheless one that is alluring and sensuous. We detect a pause, the pulse is stilled, motion is suspended and we gaze forensically at the painting (the model sometimes gazes back, with an air of cool regard or counter-interrogation). At this point all kinds of questions and curiosities arise. Are these simply highly accomplished portraits or are these women also allegorical figures?
Yigal Ozeri’s work articulates the attractions of the transient fragility of the human form. His painstaking practice translates it into something immanently ‘real’, preserving a record of that which passes too quickly.”
