5 x 5: Other Voices
Preface
5 x 5: Other Voices inaugurates Litvak Contemporary and its new gallery spaces in Tel Aviv. By bringing together a broad range of painters of different countries and of different generations, the exhibition seeks to address various approaches to painting today. Figuration and abstraction both make their appearances and occasionally in tandem. The gestural mark of the artist is very much in evidence in some of the work presented; in others there is a reduction of the hand. Raw emotional content shares the stage with detached formalism. At first blush the divergent styles may confuse, but as Barbara MacAdam points out, the connecting thread is an underlying tension and duality. The confluence of artists from Europe, the United States and, of course, Israel, serves as a mission statement for the gallery to be a platform for the many voices amongst contemporary practitioners, regardless of origin. We would like to extend our gratitude to all the participating artists and to offer a special note of thanks to Barbara MacAdam for her insightful essay and to Thorsten Albertz of Albertz-Benda and Vito Schnabel for their gracious assistance and support.

5 x 5: Other Voices Barbara MacAdam
It is difficult to talk today about introducing one region’s art to that of the larger world and vice versa since there has probably been more communication via the arts than there has between peoples. The innovative show 5 x 5 acknowledges this in its selection. It probes uniqueness among artists’ responses to specific local and international circumstances, while recognizing their similar approaches and concerns. Here are ten artists - five Israeli, five international - drawn (if I might use that term) to both figuration and abstraction (often not differentiating, since who would dispute that the basic forms of abstraction and geometry are inherent in all figuration?). Most, however, are gestural painters. And there is as much variety in the means of expression among the Israeli artists as there is among the international contingent. Emotion - not “beauty,” with its negative intimations of the decorative and banal - best links these works. Passion, intensity, anger, and sorrow are as natural to expression here as is beauty. So are the introspection and even irony-tinged nostalgia that inform so many of the paintings in this show. And, of course, given the time and place in history, there’s politics. The roots run deep, and they’re tangled. Abstraction, figuration, collage, and cartooning are all called into play variously as ways of dealing with the complexities of geography, history, and identity (national, sexual, and racial). And all of these techniques, blurred genres, and forms testify to a reality that is in constant flux. Avner Ben-Gal is an Israeli, who shows widely and internationally. His work is theatrical and intense, largely dark and gloomy, highlighted by areas of chiaroscuro. Many paintings depict interior and outdoor scenes and are expressionistic and excruciating. The two works in this show are characteristic in the way they resonate with foreboding. One depicts an Arab-looking man with beard and cap sitting at a desk in a mysterious setting, with a streak of pinkish light invading the scene. Patches of linearity disrupt the ambiguity.
A stick-like arm reaches over a table; a computer (possibly) stares back at him through the murky atmosphere. Another image - a setting with brambles intertwining and a bicycle hidden in the green-and-black background, which could be an inner patio with glass doors protecting it from the woods beyond, or reflecting that wild, natural world. Expressionistically real, yet at the same time surreal, Ben-Gal’s imagery seems to dwell in the specifically hazy. Life does that, the paintings seem to say. It cuts into the dream of living, into the mundane, in unexpected ways and moments. It is vivid in its depiction of ambiguity. Tsibi Geva was born in 1951 on Kibbutz Ein Shemer and now lives in Tel Aviv. Geva, who is representing Israel at the current Venice Biennale, melds an architectural sensibility with a modernist cubistic expressionism that resides somewhere between sculpture and painting and drawing and print-making in its modes of depiction. In fact, many of the paintings have the intensity of expressionist woodcuts with deep and aggressive lines, entwined and thereby constraining and containing layers of teeming activity. Sometimes, as here, animals, such as a large black raven in a painting of that title, constitute the imagery, and animalistic figures walk one behind the other as if with trepidation, a woman kneels as if before a threat on her life. The browns and shadowy blues speak of consciousness and foreboding. The Israeli Maya Bloch seems to share elements with the American painter Nathaniel Mary Quinn. Her portrayals of malleable marshmallow-like faces that are, at once, there and not there - in the process of becoming and dissolving - can be read on a personal and political level. At the same time, the faces have a contradictory solidity; they are full and almost cartoonish. The style is very distinctive, the subject matter leans toward that of the German Expressionists with grotesque Nolde-like distortions ending up as portraits of angst itself. Using almost recognizable shapes - a fence, clouds, trees, eyes, greenery maybe, in Kandinskyesque colors - the forms in Tamar Roded’s paintings seem to emerge on their own initiative and transmogrify. Patches and streaks of greenish-yellow light contribute to a sense of movement yet highlight instability. Roded was a dancer, and as such expresses movement itself and the perceptions of the mover. In Self-Created City , 2014, the viewer’s perceptions shift from a small room (perhaps) to tree structures (perhaps) to
a cluster of flat-roofed houses (perhaps). We’re again in a sea of forms neither solid nor totally fluid. Uncertainty prevails. Roded speaks of her work as “driven by Eros and Thanatos, it’s in a state of ever-changing struggle between the self-consuming and the self-creating.” By contrast, the sharply satiric as well as deadpan work of Zoya Cherkassky-Nnadi, who was born in the Soviet Union, immigrated to Israel in the 1990s, and lived and worked for four years in Berlin before returning to Israel, operates at two extremes - Simpsons-style TV-screen parody, and straightforward illustrational depictions of everyday life. Here we move to an almost documentary, snapshot-style portrayal, as in the drawings of people at a bus stop - a white-bearded man in a white cap sitting on a bike bearing an Israeli flag; a fit, neat, middle-aged jeans-clad guy; and an easy-going young black man poised, stylishly casual. All gaze ahead, unconnected to one another, characters in today’s modern cities. It is the other side of rage, or the containment of it. Perhaps. Out of Israel, the tempo of agitation is often somewhat slower, but still in play. This is not the case, however, with Italian painter Michele Bubacco, who creates some of the most confrontational, psychologically disturbing works in this gathering. Their imagery is impossible to turn from. It fills the whole painting surface with its brutality and sexuality holding the center and foreground. The paintings, mostly black-and-white grotesques, allude to artists ranging from Goya to Soutine and Guston. Gesture and abstraction drive the pained figures in Bubacco’s paintings. As he describes his canvas
The Bite, 2014: “You can recognize a spherical shape, it is cracked. Perhaps it was a head in the past, now it is evolving, is hooking, is penetrating, got stuck in a complementary figure, supine with a leg up. The relationship between these two elements could be inside the violence territory or inside the territory of the interrelationship.” These words most accurately mirror the passion and anguish of his imagery. David Humphrey operates in the more subtle, teasing, story-telling mode, but also emphasizes the reality of daily life as an unbiased spectator. He presents it in a deadpan way and layers it with a subtle postmodern embrace of reality, memory, and fantasy. Forms and figures build up to a state of unfathomability - unspecific abstract shapes that feign specificity and figures that bear little relation to one another or to the scene itself. Unease
dwells beneath the surface as it does in a David Lynch film. We never know how to react. A lot also goes on beneath the surface of British artist Christopher Le Brun’s mostly monochrome though layered, thickly painted abstractions; they reveal only the memory of turbulence and form, and of Guston, Monet, Turner, and a multitude of others. Critic Jill Spalding observed in Studio
International, “The dark energy has become radiant. Image has become allusion. The canvases burn or they cool, but even as they cool, they rejoice, yearn and drip. And each move seems deliberate.” In Le Brun’s paintings here, one has the sense of a world of action and events and passion being pressed into submission. It does seem as if it could leak or explode. Yet they have a self-composed mien. Le Brun puts his figures under wraps here, keeping the narrative secret, as well as the underlying technique - such as the brushstrokes in works like Speak, 2014, with its crimson red atop brighter red, a stripe of orange leaking out at the edges. By contrast, the Chicago-born, Brooklyn-based Nathaniel Mary Quinn is far from self-contained or repressed. He is concerned with the construction of identity, an issue that Middle Eastern and American cultures share and wrestle with. The success of his works, one hopes, is bound up in their visually unresolvable nature. Identity must always be many things at once and in flux. Quinn captures this mobility and transience in intensely colored painted assemblages filled with a discordant range of facial features and forms that are at once abstract and figurative and ultimately ungraspable. He has described “the gap or break” in his works as “a type of functional geometry, opening up spaces within and between imagery.” It’s his own approach to the multifacetedness of cubism as a language. Capping the multifaceted, enigmatic, and uneasy-making character of art today is that of The Bruce High Quality Foundation. A Brooklyn-based arts collective founded on the principles of Roland Barthes’ “death of the Author” conviction; of no institutional or any other constraints; of all and no philosophies; and commitment to being subversive and witty with an ever-changing group of anonymous members. It’s all very today.
