Tamar Greenfeld

Clowns | Maria Magdalena and Angel | Beyond Conscious | Judea Mountains in Fall | Behind Masks | Nostalgia

The paintings of Tamar Greenfeld create atmospheric,

quasi-illusionistic spaces from which brief traces of
brushwork appear. These strokes form dreamlike
images suggesting narrative coherence emerging
from unconscious thoughts. The artist paints in
layers, producing an illusion of transparency that
brings a feeling of softness to her works. Contributing
to this element, although more intense, hers is a
palette with which Monet may have been comfortable.

Greenfeld's figures seem to hang in open air against

backgrounds that describe rising movement. Even as
they imply reference to physical phenomena, they
summarize an extended meditation on abstract
form's ability to conjure up ideas, emotions and
spaces rousing strong emotional feelings. They
exemplify painting's ability to create self-sufficient
environments.

In Maria Magdalena and the Angel, the passion of the

subject's red hair contrasts meaningfully with the
mystical tranquility of her expression. While her lower
body is submerged in a furious foaming sea, a
guardian Angel protects her from above. In Clowns,
the circles symbolize life's cycle, the constant
transitions between joy and sorrow, laughter and
tears. The lights and shadows of color are suggestive
of the lights and shadows of our lives.
