This is an exhibition view of a group exhibition held at Litvak Contemporary, Tel Aviv, in February 2022. The painting on the left is by Benninga, titled "Tilly Visiting my Studio". It features two figures from Benninga's family in front of an older painting by the artist, showing another two family members. The mixture of sources for the image, as well as the relations between the figures is at the heart of this painting. 

Exhibition view "Bloodline: The Artist's Family", Litvak Contemporary

This is an installation view from my solo show "Bacchanal" at Maya Gallery, Tel Aviv, July 2021. Through the mythological subject of the feast of Bacchus, I offer a contemporary interpretation, raising questions regarding the place of pleasure in our lives. 

Bacchanal, exhibition view, Maya Gallery, Tel Aviv

The painting is a contemporary pleasure garden of sorts. 

In the Park

The painting synthesized an imaginary scene with a photographic based image from the 1930s. The painting questions the building of narrative and the place of individual experience in larger narratives. 

Business as Usual

This painting is part of a series dealing with the subject of female desire. The figures interact in a fictional pleasure garden. The large scale of the painting, as well as the scale of the figures allows for the incorporation of the viewer into the field of the painting.
