About the artist
Characterised by a love of mark-making, a bold and exuberant colour palette, a vibrant collection of characters and a maelstrom of emotions. Fast and free, his bold colour combinations are an exciting visual experience. His technique of laying down colour and intricate brush strokes in sections, gives a unique sense of depth and movement to his work, bringing the paintings to life.
His still life, portraits and seductive figures form a cohesive body of work. His technique is spontaneous and physical with his use of layers and colours to create the loose lines in his figures. The women and Geishas are imaginary, soft and elegant with exaggerated eyes, expressing their strength, and inviting the viewer to bring their own interpretation to his works.
Exhibitions
Yosi has exhibited with SOHO Galleries since his first show there in 2004. His solo exhibitions include "Colour Spill" and "Evok" at Richard Martin Art, Sydney, "New Work" at Gallery One, Gold Coast, and "Harmony of Cultures" at Thierry B Gallery, Melbourne, alongside numerous group exhibitions and art fairs in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Singapore.
