Avner Ben-Gal — Spider
Avner Ben-Gal

Spider

A haunting and enigmatic figure emerges from Ben-Gal's characteristically raw and expressionistic brushwork, rendered in a palette that feels both visceral and dreamlike. The painting carries the artist's signature psychological tension, where the human form appears fragile and distorted, evoking a sense of unease and vulnerability. True to Ben-Gal's practice, *Spider* blurs the boundary between figuration and abstraction, drawing the viewer into an unsettling yet deeply intimate emotional space.
