Roy Mordechay has developed an enigmatic visual language. His multilayered paintings are composed of various recurring abstract and figurative elements. Schematic surfaces, anthropomorphic forms, and landscape fragments are combined against pastel-toned and gradient backgrounds to create balanced compositions. The seemingly playful and surreal scenes illustrate a complex pictorial cosmos. The stylistically “naïve” formal language opens up multiple connections to culturally embedded symbolism as well as to aspects of digital visual aesthetics. Mordechay’s image motifs are fading and growing pale while one tries to grasp them – here, following the dream logic and the moment of remembrance, in which the dream images vanish in the waking state.
