There Once was a Girl Named Hester and Other Damaged Kids
Amitai Ben David
August 20 to November 5, 2022
The haunting paintings in There Once was a Girl Named Hester and Other Damaged Kidsare based on a children's book, published in Isreal in the austere 1960s. Amitai creates settings where the individual is surrounded by both the beautiful and the toxic, where brushstrokes build images and deconstruct them simultaneously. His 'damaged' and scarred protagonists are balancing themselves in a disintegrating landscape, stumbling and rising. Amitai depicts a world where horror and beauty are entangled, where nature blossoms and burns away in fantastic shapes and colours.
