Artwork location: France

This artwork, an evocative and eloquent portrayal of a coastal town, executes a masterful blend of impressionism and bold, vibrant expressionism. The painting captures a hillside town cascading towards a tranquil waterfront, with myriad buildings tightly packed, each uniquely adorned with red-tile roofs and white walls, emphasizing a Mediterranean or perhaps Aegean aesthetic. The artist's technique is distinct and highly textured, employing thick, impasto strokes that create tangible depth and a kaleidoscope of movement within the piece. This stylistic choice not only imbues the town with a sense of overwhelming and bustling energy but also juxtaposes beautifully with the serene, almost ethereal quality of the water below. The water itself is a symphony of colors—blue, gold, and violet hues intermingle in an impressionist manner, capturing the reflective nature of the sea under varying light conditions. The contrast of the vivid, lively water against the meticulous and detailed depiction of the buildings generates a compelling visual dialogue. Prominently featured in this composition is a dark-colored boat, which anchors the viewer's gaze amidst the vibrant chaos. This vessel serves as a focal point, providing a central narrative element that invites contemplation of journeys, and exploration. The background reveals a hillside densely populated with structures, painted with muted tones that evoke a sense of depth and distance, seamlessly integrating the living spaces into the natural landscape. The brilliant use of both contrasting and harmonious colors across the canvas renders a dynamic and balanced composition. In essence, this artwork is a captivating ode to coastal living, exuberantly capturing the essence of a town intertwined with the sea. The contrasting textures and colors, coupled with a strategic composition, command attention and evoke a strong emotional connection to the depicted scene.

Dondi Schwartz, Santorini, Summer Eve
Israel  • 1961

Presentation

Dondi Schwartz is an Israeli artist born in Canada in 1961 who lives and works in the Kibbutz Beeri, Negev, Israel. Schwartz studied art at the Avni School of Arts in Tel Aviv, The Kibbutz Workshop for Painting and Creative Writing and at the Uta Patinkin Atelier. He studied photography at Camera Obscura School of Arts, Beit-Svi Film School in Tel Aviv and in Concordia University, Montreal. The artist's works travel freely between the decorative works of art nouveau to the deep thoughts of the surrealists, yet at times incorporating the simplicity of the naive artists. Through his paintings, we experience the freedom and nature of the rural Israeli life, where one dreams of connections to the natural surroundings. Schwartz has published several novels in Hebrew and has produced numerous independent films as documentaries & feature drama films that participated in film festivals and were screened in Israeli theaters and on the Israeli TV.
