  Self and Horse / Acrylic on canvas

Alona Harpaz (b. 1971) is a Berlin-based Israeli artist who confronts today’s glam world head on with her provocative paintings. These works in baby blue, egg yolk and Lolita pink depict figures seemingly standing on the edge of Eden. Alone with themselves and their fantasies they face a world where human aspirations and beliefs confront a reality check. The glitter and stars meet the recognition of an emptiness at the core in figures emerging or trapped in thick layers of white. The mixture of glamour and doubt makes Harpaz one of the most powerful artists of her generation.
