Avner Ben-Gal - Sadie Coles HQ - London


through February 25th 2012

Within and between Ben-Gal's drawings, semi-abstract forms are offset by visceral anatomical details. In an untitled image of a female figure, Ben-Gal's blue pencil marks concentrate into a network of capillaries in her breasts, while her head is blotted out and merges with a background scheme of hatched geometric shapes. In another work, in which an elongated figure sits with a plate and cat perched on its lap, Cubist-style segments and arcs vividly evoke muscle tissue.
