Fruits De Terre, 36×50 in, oil on canvas, 2022
“Painter Devorah Jacoby creates on canvas, dichotomies that coexist with a quiet psychological power – chaos and calm, violence and tranquility, rebellion and conformity, domesticity and adventure, beauty and ugliness. Behind the painterly brushwork and the beautiful bodies that inhabit her art are images and ideas that provoke and stimulate and often disturb. But always tastefully, skillfully, colorfully, sensually.”
– from the catalogue essay by Paul Liberatore
