About The Artwork
Winner of the Jackson Painting Prize in the Abstract category, 2020 London Available from the end of January due to an exhibition This painting began in Africa. It was a mistake how bring me into Kigali in Rwanda, i didn't wont to fell there holocaust, I have one at home, bat my bag from flight lost on my way . I felt so existent in Rwanda. After a day I went to Uganda , Lake Bunyonyi, with sketch paper I start this painting in a local House that I made it as a studio with the line I cared with me all the way. 14 days with tempera color, French tempera, and then long way in my studio at the port of Haifa. The painted landscape is severed from the original geographical setting and in this process of destruction and neutralization of the initial site, something different is formed. One can find a reference to the landscape - the horizon line, the sky and the earth - but the painting cannot be grasped and it remains open to interpretation. The viewer encounters a wide range of brush strokes and colors, dots and lines forming a lucid context. The painting stretches from right to left, up and down, inside and out, without any coherence, going through a universal experience of eternal existence, endlessness, life and death, tranquility and compassion - all of which rely on the reference to the city Kigali and the pain she cared.

Zohar Cohen, born in 1969, is a painter who creates large canvases of color that are connected by a color vibration that exists between one stroke of paint and another. He uses small, dense strokes of color to create layers of light and mood. Zohar hints at the sources of his work through the names of the pieces, such as the Kigali series which he started during his stay in Rwanda. Zohar's journey begins with a pictorial idea based on a geographical location. He observes lines and spots created directly on the canvas. The main idea is preserved in the studio, but there is a process of disconnection from the geographical place, and while destroying and neutralizing something else is created. The viewer can experience the painting in two ways. They can focus on molecular units, like looking through a microscope at items that form a uniform, sensual, and abstract fabric. Alternatively, they can observe from a distance and experience a struggle. Zohar's harmonious coloring is calculated in an almost scientific way, where dots, lines, painted stripes, everything is woven into the fabric of the painting, creating a uniform work of art that is linked deeply to reality. Over the years, Zohar created a series of interiors, in which there is a figure in the room, like a sort of focal point, with ripples of color bursting from the outside and disturbing the inside of the painting
