On the Sublime - Tsibi Geva

This work by Tsibi Geva,(B 1951, works and lives in New York and Tel Aviv) evokes in me thoughts and sensations of transcendence. A beautiful geometric abstract representation of spirituality in our secular era.

Tsibi Geva - Black Narcissus

"The gaze directed at Tsibi Geva's works is swallowed by a void. by absence. By the missing body. The various flowers that appear in Geva's works are all poisoned, black, dripping, hollowed-out flowers. these flowers are not withered, but rather imbued with strange, repellent, barren quality." Curator Hadas Maor, for Tsibi Geva's catalog "Mound of Things" works and projects 1982-2008, Tel Aviv Museum.

I L O V E Geva's Narcissus. I regard it also as a sort of contemplation over self love {narcissism} and self-portrait issues. A theme israeli artists fail sometime to manifest. And Geva's series of Flowers, Thorns and Birds offers a unique gaze, like a delicate Haiku poem, over this theme.
