Guy Yanai — À propos — Slash Paris

Tel Aviv-based painter Guy Yanai creates bold, dynamic paintings that suffuse his experience of the quotidien world with a graphic intensity, even drama.

Addressing the material trappings of contemporary life, his paintings have depicted subjects such as the interior of the artist’s therapist’s office and a range of consumer goods.

Synthesizing a wide range of influences, from Renaissance humanism and classical antiquity to modernist abstraction and the Internet, Yanai’s work captures the sense of simultaneous anxiety and excitement characteristic of today.
