From the Press Release: Israeli artist Gili Levy's paintings dwell in the realm of the intimate. They do so in their way of telling a personal story and in the means by which it is told. Depicting people, places, or abstract relationships, they all share a similar vision through a consistent sense of color and a unique way of juxtaposing elements in space. In essence, and throughout the different topics they choose to explore, they articulate through paint a certain way of being, which is both performative and experienced.

This week I was able to pay a visit to the studio of Bushwick based painter, Gili Levy. Levy was born in Herzliya, Israel, received her MFA from the New York Studio School in 2008 and has lived and worked in Brooklyn since 2005. Her mostly, large oil paintings have their origins in figuration and immediately convey the intimacy and depth of feeling she has for her subjects. But Levy is a painter first, and it's easy for the viewer to come ungrounded and caught up in the quality of paint handling, the endless variety of application and the struggle between color and form that are made all the more interesting by quirky line quality (beginning and ending abruptly)  and sophisticated, unexpected, color placements and combinations. Levy's work is resplendent, and gritty as the figurative and the abstracted vie for attention and end up equals comprising a transcendent whole. Gili Levy has exhibited extensively in Brooklyn and Queens in venues such as Valentine, Centot...
