Irit Rabinowits's art deals with sexual-lesbian identity, starting with the moment of revelation and hiding - The blue paintings, which are painted in cold and reserved colors conveying a sensation of detachment and isolation; Through the revelation and enjoyment derived from the beauty and sexuality of the woman body - The wood paintings, which are warm-color paintings drawn on wood; And finally - the Naive paintings - the embracement of the lesbian identity, the self- revelation, and the celebration of love and relationship in a colorful, naive and joyful manner. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
