It Depends
My very first oil painting, in which I quietly rebelled against the traditional, rigid style. I was looking for inspiration that would allow my character to stand out over the technique. In one of our classes, the teacher told me that to be an artist, I still had a long way to go. As a teenager, I disagreed with her; I believed that this title is like a blood type—completely unrelated to achievements and technique. You’re either born with it, or you’re not. The hanging orange reminded me, in a humorous way, of exactly what I experienced in those classes. Growth and progress are intertwined with achievement, alongside the present moment embodied by the clothesline, where time seems to stand still and trees grow by tiny millimeters. This is the eternal time above the human being, and the painstaking squeezing of one's abilities into wonderful outcomes. This is a painting that dances on the seam between the patience of ripening and visible success. Visual Specifications: The painting features a classic half-orange placed on a table, next to a glass with an orange slice hanging above it from a clothespin, dripping inside. The piece creates a strong color contrast between a cool turquoise background and warm shades of orange and brown.Technically, the work is characterized by visible brushstrokes, combining meticulous realism in the details of the fruit and glass with a noticeable presence of paint texture in the background and on the table.
Ayelet Hashachar
Ayelet Hashachar’s work grows out of her experiences with people, nature, music and dance, prayer and solitude. Her work moves between femininity and the body, bright colors and delicate drawings, and darker, mysterious images. She is drawn to different worlds that may seem opposite at times, but beneath their differences she feels something they share — a sense of life and a feeling that awaken in her and find their way into her art. Ayelet Hashachar does not try to show reality exactly as it looks, but to express how she experiences it inside herself. Through figures, lines, movement and shapes, she gives these experiences a form that goes beyond their outer appearance. She began making art at a young age; at 13, she held her first solo exhibition in Tel Aviv and studied at the Center for Excellence in Art in Be’er Sheva. For those who look closely at her work, it can become a kind of open book to her inner world.
