Sarah Guedj This world is but a canvas to our imagination. (Henry David Thoreau)
The art of Sarah Guedj - an extraordinary Israeli artist - can be defined as a kaleidoscopic universe of vibrant colors that transport the observer into a joyful and lively dimension, full of beauty and grace. Sarah's innate passion for art led her to find the main blend of inspiration in the unique ability to find positive sensations in everything, whether it belongs to the outside world or resides in the deepest folds of her interiority. This swirling ensemble of emotions that overflow from her works is supported by a unique technique, which is inspired by the dot painting of Aboriginal art and develops in an extremely personal style. The works presented during the F**K U exhibition focus on the marine world, whose multiplicity of colors and shapes becomes an opportunity for Sarah to create fascinating chromatic exuberances. In Balancing Oneself in the Chaotic Sea the observer's eye is lost in the infinite details of geometries, textures and colors that swirl through the entire composition, to then focus on the sinuous spine of a fish. Despite the swirling chaos that surrounds it, the fish becomes a simile of the search for its own inner harmony, which strengthens and grows until it is in balance with the waves that carry it. Brave Turtle in the Psychedelic World partially takes up this concept, and focuses on the figure of the turtle - symbolically recognized as an emblem of patience and wisdom which endures the obstacles that arise with courage and confidence. Her contemplative attitude turns with optimism to the future, tinged with brilliant notes of pink and blue. A Journey in the Aquatic Depths is characterized by a real rainbow of colors, shaded by the cold colors of blue, green and purple, up to the warmer notes of yellow, orange and red on the right side of the composition. This persuasive iris of chromatic tones is crossed by the wavy figure of a multicolored snake, which gradually sheds its skin. The artist represents in a visually captivating way a capacity for adaptation and discovery that transcends physical limits and touches the most intimate and hidden strings of the soul.
The less you respond to negative people, the more positive your life will become. (Paolo Coelho)
