Simple Shapes Tammy Keidar / Bait Muza Raanana הצילומים באדיבות Bait Muza Raanana 23/02/2019 to - 10/03/2019 Tammy Keidar / Simple shapes "The look is protected by imagination And you saw art as an act Protects all life. " [1] It is possible, in the words of Yona Wallach, that the motto that lies at the base of the multifaceted work of the artist Tami Keidar lies. "Art," she says, using the well-known artist Louise Bourges, "is a guarantee of sanity - the refuge that contains and protects me at the same time." This statement makes it possible to explain Kedar's charged and conflicted arena of action, which is followed by four decades of rich artistic activity. The works presented in her new exhibition have been mostly done in recent years and illustrate how she extracts from her work materials the material-expressive potential that is embedded in them and embeds them in the autobiographical experience that captures trauma and pain. These are almost always simple materials collected from different places, relics loaded with history that relate to situations of abandonment, emissions, threat and danger. The description of the absence through relics is characteristic of the work of some of the "second generation" artists, among them Kedar, who grew up as an only child of Holocaust survivors who arrived in Israel in the late 1940s. The intervention in the raw materials, whether it is a delicate touch or an action involving the struggle and the use of physical force, is done with restraint and moderation, while preserving its qualities, lines and past traces engraved in the material. This work approach enables the transformation that transforms materials into subjects of complex, intellectual, and emotional content. Contrast is one of the most important and prominent characteristics of her work. Among other things, she embodies the brave and challenging combinations she creates between the materials in her works. It seems that in these adventures and intuitive experiences lies her desire for creativity, which is the fountain of continuous renewal that characterizes her artistic path. Side by side are revealed in the damaged and corrected works, complete and dismantled, stormy and tempered, fragility and power, static and shaking, the absence and the rough and rough and smooth and delicate. It is therefore not surprising that alongside the hard materials it produces, such as wood and iron, silk paper, wool yarn and, more recently, elastic elastic bands that it combines with other materials are found. In her extensive, inquisitive, and ongoing study of materials and subjects from diverse content worlds, her artistic language, which corresponds to the minimalist and conceptual art tradition, develops and crystallizes, but is formulated not subject to rigid dictates but as a personal and authentic language that develops and evolves incessantly. The exhibition also features a series of new and unusual wooden sculptures, painted in bold shades of yellow, red and green. The colorful expression, the children and the joy of the sculptures, so different from the monochromatic character of her work, expresses the great light that penetrated her life upon the birth of her granddaughters and the future generation that placed optimism, joy and hope around him.
