Infatuatiion Painting

Infatuation Art tradition relates to a painting as an object seen through a 'window' frame. This oil painting on canvas is part of a conceptual series : "Image-reality-reflection", inspired by the parallel dimension theory and the philosopher Thomas Kuhn. Shany's art takes the ‘window’ concept one step further, using the reflections phenomena to create an image of a double point of view, bringing awareness to the parallel realities influencing life, the outer material reality evolving in our interpersonal space, and the inner imaginative, emotional reality evolving in the spiritual being. Infatuation is a tendency to project one’s inner image on another person. It is a bridge connecting between the inner and outer realms. It can cause pain but when active it elevates one’s mood. True love happens when each person sees himself and the other. Nurit Shany's true love is to reveal human situations through imagery and painting. The creative process involves documenting people in public spaces in Tel Aviv, composing images with the Photoshop application, sketching and oil painting on canvas.
