Bubblescapes, an exhibition of unusually evocative altered photographic landscapes by the young Israeli artist, Tal Yizrael, will open at Sharq gallery in Pacific Palisades on May 5. A reception from 2 to 6 p.m. From May 6 until June 2 the show can be seen by appointment. The exhibition will consist of elegant and colorful works in which the world is seen, literally, through soap bubbles. Yizrael achieves a unique and wondrous effect by placing bubbles over negatives or slides of images in the printing process. For her, the darkroom is ‘a magic palette,’ the place where she creates a realm of shifting elements that emphasize the fleeting nature of the world. As she says, “I construct my landscapes, manipulate them, and maintain a dynamic dialogue with their ever-changing fragile substance.” Yizrael came to study in California from Jerusalem, where she earned a degree in photography and digital media from Hadassah College. Last year she received a master of fine arts degree at Claremont Graduate University. She has exhibited her work in Israel, Taiwan, and at various places in the Los Angeles area, including the Brand Art Center in Glendale. Sharq is a private gallery located in Pacific Palisades. To RSVP for the opening and to get directions to the gallery, write to sharqart@verizon.net or phone (310) 454-6826.
