Press Release

Long captivated by the realms of art and science, mixed media artist Gayl Sharabi links them together with her fascinating series of paintings that examine the repetition and formation of infrastructures. Working with a variety of traditional and non-traditional mediums, Sharabi’s elegantly abstracted paintings, which recall both botanical and cellular imagery, provide a deep look into the structures of cells, recognizing the beautiful patterns that naturally form and coalesce to negate the presence of boundaries. Richly tactile surfaces resonate with a serene and organic color palette, while a dance-like movement injects the works with an undeniable vitality. Imbued with an inherent peacefulness, Sharabi’s works put forth an artistic vision of life at its most basic state. The concepts of micro and macro disappear, dimensions intermingle and all that remains is the perception of the present.

Born in the United States, Gayl Sharabi lives and works in Israel and holds a Master’s of Science in Microbiology from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.


Artist Statement

The most gratifying experience is the act of creating. It is as though music plays through me and the brush is the dance. Creating is the most wonderful experience. I see science and art as an expression of each other. My art is a compilation of many kinds of media. I illustrate my ideas and many times tie science and art together.

In my new work, delineation of boundaries vanishes when the repetitions of infrastructures are revealed. When geometrical fractals are combined with infinitesimal cells or cell structures, size becomes inconsequential. The combination of these structures, with our visualization of life, reveals a connection between dimensions.
