"In the dreamy, sometimes nightmarish world painter Devorah Jacoby creates
on canvas, dichotomies 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. |
