Edith Gubbay Fine Artist

Hexagrams

Fundamentally these are secular works based on the Hexagram or ‘The Star of David’.

These are all photo montages inspired by flowers in Chile, and wild mushrooms growing in my garden in Sussex. The flowers comprise six different images amalgamated to form a cohesive, yet puzzling entity.

African Ethnic Art

African ethnic art, which we collect, and which are part of my South African/Zimbabwe background, were the initial inspiration of my art practice. The sculptures, masks, fabrics, tattoos and Khasa designs still subtly inform most of my work.

Greece, Turkey and Syria

These are a group of images inspired by travels to Greece, Turkey and, believe it or not, Syria. The antiquity and stylization are imminently appealing.

Textures

Texture elements are a large creative aspect of my work.

Recycled

The idea for this group, although initiated at my studio in London, were developed and expanded during 2013/2014 in Israel where my space was limited, so working on a computer solved this problem.

Timna

These are photos taken at Timna in Israel. Some are pure photos and some have been rearranged in ‘Photoshop’. A major interest has always been the shapes and textures found in nature.

Flow

This group of pictures are my most recent works. The idea is to capture a ‘flow’ of images based on visits to thermals in the Atacama region of Chile; the marble rocks of Toroko Gorge in Burma and the rocks of Noss in Scotland.

Collograph Prints

These two pictures are Collograph prints, mostly oil painted after the embossing. ‘Fish’ are aesthetically beautiful , forming exciting patterns and shapes. ‘Harmony’ on the other hand is a total abstraction using positives and blends of colour.

Japan

A special event on a trip to Japan in December 2014. We were paying a visit to Kamakura where there is a giant Buddha. It began to hail – or was it snow – it was both.
