Nurit
Shani

Nurit Shany is an Israeli artist. Her art is inspired by the Kabbalistic wisdom that coincides with the theory of multiplicity. In which both reality and the human behavior are reflected in multiple mirrors and understood through a series of spheres of consciousness, enabling an evolutionary growth and paradigm shifts.

In the light of this wisdom nurit Shany creates her conceptual images portraying people from public spaces in an imagined psychedelic space, creating an illusion of a reflection. Yet the reflection is not symmetric but a different moment showing the object's evolving through time or into one of the eight spatial directions.

Corresponding with the notion of a painting as a 'window' and going a step forward into the psychedelic realm, some of her art can be viewed from two different angles - upright and upside down, expressing a double meaning in a constant flow of change. When seeing the theme rotated, a new point of view emerges revealing a blind spot, suggesting a paradigm shift.

Nurit Shany's art as a whole, deals with ignorance. The ignorance of the human race that lives in singularity, denying the existence of parallelism that creates spheres of consciousness.

The concept is crystallized in her recent masterworks, images of which are shown in different pages,each followed by her comments. Reflections appeared in her art in the past through different modes. In the series: "Shop Windows" (2004), "A Shadow on the Wall" (2007), "Sea Waves" (2012), "Yachts" and "Abstract in the Waters" (2014), "City Lily Ponds" (2017) and finally as a clear conceptual form in her recent master work of "Conceptual Images".
