Pinchas Zinovich, (1943-2007), the basic components in Zinovich’s work are color and form. The rich colorfulness shifts from turbidity to eye-blinding brightness, and the formatting shapes have organic, biomorphic and sensual character, they are not easy to interpret but they do hold a physical presence, continuously moving between the figurative and the abstract. Zinovich’s painting is the consequence of a mental process, spontaneous and extremely expressive. His works assert a scream coming from inside, a retching of the body. Zinovich has exhibited in Art Basel 34 in Switzerland 2003, as well as in many other solo and group exhibitions in Israel.
