Avner Ben-Gal — Orthodox tune
Avner Ben-Gal

Orthodox tune

A solitary figure emerges from loose, gestural brushwork in muted tones, rendered with Avner Ben-Gal's characteristically raw and unsettling intimacy. The interplay of acrylic washes and marker lines creates a fragmented, almost hallucinatory quality, evoking the hypnotic rhythm of devotional melody. The work hovers between the sacred and the psychological, channeling a sense of inward spiritual absorption tinged with unease.

Medium
acrylic, marker on paper
