Trotopy: Appearance Heterotopy: False Impression / Curator: Nira Tessler The exhibition Trotopy: Appearance of Shaked Aviv deals with imaginary interior landscapes and the illusion of places and events, in combinations that do not take place simultaneously in the familiar space. As a child, she experienced firsthand the complex Israeli political reality that is present in her large-scale expressive paintings. Despite the seemingly sweet colors, her image moves between shaky morbid childhood memories, and her aspiration to connect to harmonious inner landscapes - in terms of fracture and repair - and re-experience, as a mother, her 'second childhood'. Aviv engraves models in layers of oil, such as camouflage nets or screens, which, although there are unifying ones, damage the surface as if it were a substitute for tormented human skin. In her works vague, mysterious and unresolved situations that occur under the auspices of the caves, cliffs, thickets and screen; But the superficial gaze of the characters betrays the fact that each time, seemingly, the landscapes of the mind unite in the tangle of magical moments.
