The pictorial and abstract universe of Simon Betuel,

an Israeli artist, concentrates on one evocative power:

paint & instrument.

 

He creates an essential equilibrium between flowing gestures profound for his abstract calligraphic forms, dramatic compositions obtained thanks to unique colour palette and the successive thick & wet layers of acrylic paint, extremely smooth, that provides unstoppable attraction of his paintings.

 

These gracious lines are like shadows in weightlessness; without references, they are mental images that the artist repeats on canvas in a methodic way in order to give them life and reveal this striking contrast between force and lightness.

 

Uniquely combined "Rashi" hebrew script, based on 15th-century, the forms, contours & abstract concept together with biblical phrases & verses, demonstrates its real nature, its essence, offering to the painting a zone of history, purity and spirituality.
