Meira Porath: Orange is Not Red
"Memory is memory is memory Colored green, white, orange, red Me only me just me and the private world around me" Meira Porath
Meira Porath is a graduate of the Art Students League, New York, and the personal study program at the Midrasha School of Art, Beit Berl Academic College. Her works address memory, states oscillating between truth and imagination, and the influence of the temporal dimension on the perception of reality. Porath explores various psychological phenomena, such as dibbuk (possession) and paranoia, which emphasize the gap between the personal-subjective perception of reality and that of one's environment. These gaps spawn mysterious paintings populated by figures?possibly invented, possibly drawn from the artist's life?which operate in a usually unidentified setting. Porath's works elicit disconcert as they bring the "anomalous" to the fore.
