Riding East

2014

Riding East is a 2014 oil on linen painting by Israeli artist Guy Yanai, characterized by his signature flat, blocky brushwork and bold areas of simplified color. The composition distills a scene into its most essential geometric forms, evoking a quiet, contemplative mood reminiscent of mid-century illustration and the intimacy of everyday moments. Yanai's restrained palette and precise, almost mosaic-like application of paint lend the work a serene, meditative quality.
