Pas courant

Naomi Gilon essentially works on the idea of hybridization of the shapes and the subjects inside an environment of her own that she places between reality and imagination. To do so, the artist manipulates all kinds of materials (imitation leather, fur, hood of a car, tank of a motorbike, plaster, concrete or clay) that she includes in the desired reality. Like a photograph, she does not imitate reality, she reinvents it. Once the materials are manipulated, she covers them with synthetic materials or creates additions of elements.

The popular culture is largely exploited in the work of the artist and stirs her imagination. Plunging us into a quirky universe, almost troubling in which she approaches, for example, the topic of the monstrous, using elegant objects, which suggests a different facet of the current human being according to her. The artist desires that each piece, although individual and unique, communicates with the other ones to demonstrate the dependency ratio between the object, the subject and the environment. The piece, that has a strong presence, acts on the environment of the subject which interprets it and modifies it according to its imagination. Naomi Gilon designs new spaces, between reality and imagination, via the experience of the subject, who reinterprets the environment afterwards. This process, simultaneously conscious and unconscious, creates a peculiar series of images. These images define her work.
