Night Train, Petach Tikva Museum of Art 2025

curator: Irena Gordon
The paintings in the series Night Train are windows into a sequence of intimate scenes, portraying friends or family members. The figures lie or sit on beds or sofas, alone or in a group, amid bedding and fabrics, fully or partially clothed. The bed—setting for many of life’s situations: sleep and rest, sex, birth, and death—becomes a realm of existence both physical and dreamlike, evoking the unconscious and inviting reflection on the everyday and the banal.
