Orly Shalem's "Lights" is a 50 by 50 cm canvas that captures a moment of dramatic contrast through abstract expression. The smaller scale of this piece invites an intimate viewer interaction, drawing one into the depths of its textured surface. Bold patches of navy and deep blues suggest a cool depth, while the golden and creamy hues cut through the composition like beams of warm light. Shalem's use of acrylics allows for a tactile quality with layers that seem to interact and compete for prominence, creating a sense of movement and change. This painting could speak to the flux of daily life, the constant interplay between our bright and dark moments. It would be well-placed in a personal space, like a study or a bedroom, where its emotional depth and contemplative nature can be pondered and appreciated.
