Life 2020

Life during the pandemic lockdown has taken many forms for many different people. Based in Tel Aviv, artist Guy Yanai experienced the familiar feelings of uncertainty and lethargy, but also eventually the acceptance and adaptation necessary to move forward. To regain his creative spark, he looked back to his childhood, to those things that drove him to become an artist in the first place, and to simply being creative without goals, deadlines, or expositions. This catalogue consists of around 30 paintings that Yanai produced between March and July 2020. These range from scenes from films, portraits, and personal transcriptions of media, to houseplants, boats, houses, and more.
