Liat Yossifor’s work is earthed from a bodily, physical approach to a history of American monochrome painting. Countering historical affinities of flat color, her paintings are the result of her body’s physical engagement with the pigment and surface. In her nearly two-decades long practice, a gesture is not an illusion, but the actual length of the stretch of the arm, a mark bearing testament to the strength of the hand. Here, material simultaneously takes on the appearance of oil paint and warm clay, cold plaster or concrete, their weight and luminescence at once sculptural and neolithic, organic and animate. Compositions recoil and ensconce over themselves to their center. Large circle-like forms fold over pockets of information, holding within them motifs and figurative suggestions. Partially concealed images are excavated through an active, and ongoing act of seeking. Found rather than predetermined, they appear as momentary signals in a continuous quest for meaning.
