Vissions of Memory: The Art of Anna Lentch @ Galaria Gala

Kfar presents: The art of Jewish artist Anna Lentsch captures moments of memories into houses, rooms and lives, specifically those of her own family, which escaped intact from the Nazi onslaught on her native Belgium.

Lentsch uses texture is an integral element of the paintings, providing dimension and depth to each piece. The absence of contrasted color, transparent watering finishes and an ethereal finish to convey an intimate poetry- an near sepia-tone quality evocative of old photographs.

The method is not representational though- rather, every moment is painted from her memory, serving as a reminder of meaningful occurrences, places and faces that have passed from this world and cannot be recreated, save through her brush.
