Liat Yossifor - she dances with paint




 
Yossifor is a young LA based painter working in abstraction with the difficult task of creating white paintings. She work for three days on each painting -- that is the time it takes for oil paint to begin to dry.  Her painting process seems a bit like dancing as she pushes and pulls paint into curving swirls of thick impasto.  After three days Yossifor determines if the painting is done or needs to be scraped off the canvas completely and the process begun anew.  Of course the paintings appear to be white on white, but a closer look reveals flecks of blue green, yellow and more.
