Moshe Elimelech
Portfolio Artist Statement Online Information      Moshe Elimelech's abstract bas-reliefs propose that art, like life, is a game of intention and chance. His Cubic Construction Series sport industrial looking forms and surfaces that, despite their perfection, undermine the certainties of Cartesian logic. Playing with and against the grid as a matrix linked to concepts of logic and order, these works underscore the indeterminacy of existence. Rather than creating finished, immobile artworks, Elimelech invents kinetic works that accentuate the creative process. The watercolor works refer to the tangible, but insist on the primacy of the abstract as a means of communication. Characteristically composed of prismatic bands of color, numerous shifts occur as the eye reads and tries to make sense of the image. In the second that one band is understood, another reappears to counter that reading. The watercolors present a contrast between the matrix of lines and the elusive flow of the painted colors.
