The Deep - Photograph on Canvas 22'' x 27.5'' An untamed experience awaits audiences of Israeli photographer Shifra, where familiar objects take on an otherworldly form. Her inventive approach to photography features unusual manipulation of imagery where subjects shimmer, dissolve, or liquefy. Motion, reflection and rhythm are the vanguards in Shifra’s creative arsenal. In many instances the images take on an emotional quality, wherein subtle lighting may soothe and rapid gesticulations may shock us into heightened awareness. With seemingly no boundaries to artistic invention, Shifra allows us to experience the world through new eyes. What began as a talent for drawing evolved into photography, a field transformed by cutting-edge digital programs. The photographs are abstractions captured from reality, a fragmented and fascinating view of the world. The year 2007 was a magnificent leap in Shifra’s artistic career; in the same year that she held two successful solo shows, many of her works were collected and published. She continues to exhibit frequently throughout Israel and New York.
