Light and darkness, both literal and metaphorical

EBONY/CURATED presents a solo exhibition by Orly Rabinowitz titled ‘Presence’ opening Wednesday 24 July 2024 at their Cape Town gallery.

Presence unveils Orly Rabinowitz’s latest work and weaves a richly textured narrative on her connection to our external and internal landscapes. Surrounded by the stark beauty of the Namibian terrain in her early years and enriched by a career dedicated to teaching art, her journey culminates in this, her latest reflection on light and darkness, both literal and metaphorical.

Showcasing a collection of paintings, ‘Presence’ contemplates Rabinowitz’s ongoing exploration of the unseen. Seeking to uncover connections between the personal and the communal, the known and the enigmatic, each piece acts as a gateway to a world where atmosphere and emotion intertwine.

Her paintings feature scarified marks that elevate colours from the canvas and serve as metaphors for life’s distinct cycles – the creative journey found within all seasons. Rabinowitz shares: “The ‘Presence’ paintings emerged through a dialogue between materials and ideas, gestures and emotions, quiet meditation and extreme physical exertion, experimentation and elimination. The context being the beauty of nature surrounding my studio and the dire conflict in the world, which became very personal. For me the presence of each painting manifests itself by revealing an underlying life force that pulsates to the surface, transforming over time. This energy gives form to the wonders of life and the joy of the painting process.”
