Sara Katz paints people and animals, also as close-up portrait busts. The anonymous faces are larger-than-life but clouded by misty, greyed tones. The most consequential work in the exhibition is the painting with a statuesque dog, coloured yellow, set within a field of splashed colours. The canine subject looks away from the spectator and out of the canvas in a subtle but established present.
Exhibition, Chelooch Gallery, Tel Aviv. Curator: Nira Yizhaki 1986.
