Search of Identity
Curator of the exhibition, Kobi Carmi, writes about Noon: Noon Himmelman’s exhibition “Search – Identity”
“Noon Himelman’s exhibition deals with the journey of life, and Noon has undergone many changes in her rich and diverse life, from a full time architect she has in the last two years, been working in art, creating tools, totems, tables, sculptures and paintings that deal with all the subjects that interest her.
Noon deals with Kabbalistic and Buddhistic concepts and her creation reflects her journey. The colorfulness and sensuality correspond to her character and beauty.
Noon uses a plethora of materials: ceramics, iron, mosaic, concrete, wood, fabrics and colors. In her work she skims meanings of her life. The warmth and the familial are prominent in her work. Through the creations she makes her journey. She has a weakness for totems, African masks to which she feels a mystical connection, it seems that mysticism is a feature that is repeated in her work.
Noon deals with gender relations and the dialogue or monologue between men and women appears in many of her paintings. For example in the work presented on the exhibition invitation.
The works consider relationships on the one hand and solitude on the other. Noon’s exhibition is perhaps the most versatile in the hangar. Her work is full of instincts, colorfulness and glamor that are hard to be obscured by the huge industrial space that serves as an impressive contrast to all the wealth displayed around. “
