Branches of Geometric Light
A stylized seven-branched menorah rises through a dense field of segmented geometric forms, dotted grids, and vivid orange, teal, yellow, green, and pink. Layered acrylic on canvas combines gestural scumbling, patterned marks, and emphatic black contours to create a tactile, collage-like surface. The rhythmic structure feels energetic and celebratory, offering a lively focal point for an entryway, office, or living room.
Jack Vainunska
Jacques Vainunska was born in Lille, France, in 1948 and moved to Israel in 1971. A self-taught painter and photographer, he has exhibited extensively in Israel and internationally. His earlier works explored urban landscapes, contrasting historic neighborhoods with monumental modern architecture. Over time, his practice evolved toward a more layered and contemporary visual language, combining portraiture, abstraction, typography, musical notation and symbolic imagery. His work draws on music, literature, Jewish and Israeli culture, memory and historical figures. Working mainly in acrylic, Vainunska builds his paintings through layering, revision and intuitive discovery. The result is a distinctive body of work in which figurative imagery, abstraction and graphic elements merge into a highly recognizable style.
