Paulonia / solo exhibition by Eti Gadish de Lange / periscope gallery06/06/2019 to - 06/07/2019 "Empty of any cargo To paradise is sailing Moon Ship " Dukko (from "Say a Song on the Brink of Death," translated by Joel Hoffman) Curator: Tal Roi de Lange, curator of the exhibition Paulonia is not the name of a mysterious female figure, although the preoccupation with women and sexuality is present in the exhibition. Nor is it the name of a distant port in a foreign city. However, the works correspond with the sea as a place, as a memory, as a longing and influenced by life on the water's edge . It could have been a story about being extinct and moving away from the West Bank as a metaphor for mood. Paulonia is a tree also known as the "Empress Tree" which originated from China. Which she chose with me and which enabled her to create on a large scale the series of works, some of which are exhibited in the exhibition. Light weight but stable, soft and at the same time durable, surrenders near the chisel but has a unique character and structure with a uniform texture that allows processing in a wide range of shapes, cuts and reliefs. The encounter with the Paulownia , with the hollow pipe in the trunk, led Etti to a primordial world, corresponding to ancient cultures, close to nature and kraft in coarse and minimal processing, leaving open ends as part of contemplation of time, place, material, shape and continuity . After years in which Etty's creative expression tool was mostly painting, they were taken near the Paulonia trunks, made room in the studio, bought large tools and began artistic work. Cutting, knocking, sawing, sanding, composing, carving, cultivating, freeing thoughts, distress and pain, and making physical work for sculptural works. We will open a talk channel about a permanent house and a temporary home facing the sea. The studio became a dock, boats near totems, storytellers, thoughtful and intuitive, different from each other, individuals and group, uncut, imperfect. The traces of the original trunk and the traces of Eti's hands are visible. At Eti there are different worlds at once: On the one hand, it creates small androgynous sequences of hardwood figurines combined with "ready-made" parts that are disassembled and reassembled on a female body. On the other hand, works that focus on the material and deal in one way as a abstract and realistic composition, repeats itself in an unpretentious and rough way. Search for accurate dosage. Another unconscious of a completely different sculptural nature. Paulonia.
