Bracha Guy

Bracha Guy was born in Israel and still lives there today. Her natural talent with color and form were apparent from an early age, and she has developed it into a unique style. Guy has studied in Israel under the painter Moti Mizrahi, who had high praise for her work. From 1970 to 1974, she studied the Avni School of Art in Tel-Aviv. Guy has been developing and perfecting a form of postmodern expressionism, creating a new language that combines color, form and space. Her artwork has been exhibited in museums and galleries around the world. Guy's works focus on light and color and life itself. Her canvases are filled with intricate geometrics and bright, pure spots of color, with Matisse and Art Nouveau elements. With color, patterns and intricate detail, Guy offers an insight into the lives of women, from a feminine point of view. Sensual women in exotic, almost theatrical costumes and elaborate head wear adorn her world, their luminous skin reflecting the vivid rainbow of color surrounding them. Vibrant blooms appear everywhere, decorating tables, topping garden walls and scattered across the luxuriant fabrics worn by women. During her early period, Guy's works reflect a palette of purple, teal, emerald, pink and gold. Beginning in 1989, a new period emerged, with the birth of strong, bold, primary colors - vibrant reds, blues, and greens as well as vivid yellow and orange.
