Lili Cohen Prah-Ya lives and
works in Tel Aviv. She engages in drawing, painting, sculpting, and
installation.
The point of departure in her
central body of work is drawing that is somewhere between the line and the
stain, executed on various supports and in varying sizes ranging from the
intimate to large-scale installations. The concept underlying most of the works
is a kind of dialogue with patches of color, and the tension created between
the image and its deciphering. The images appearing in the works are mostly
echoes of feminine portraits and nature versus different patches of material,
stains that do not strive to portray reality. The quick work pace is aimed at
depicting, very much like a sensitive seismograph, a changing mood and state of
mind.
Her works are being shown in
several exhibition and art fairs in Israel and around the world. Her works
included in private collections around the world.
