Isabella Benshimol Toro @ Zérui Gallery

Isabella Benshimol Toro uses resin and everyday bathroom appliances, as the basis of her art works.  In this exhibition, Rinse & Hold, her endeavours into the vast world of doors and windows, is now brought to life.  Isabella works through time in solidifying and exposing the intimacy of domestic habits, with precise and simple gestures like hanging underwear or used clothing on a water faucet, freezing up a moment in time that suggests so much: intimacy and exposure, constraint and expression, sculpture and observation.

In this exhibition, Isabella presents six new works that stem from the language of windows and doors into the abstract world of colour. Each door or window reveals different pieces of personal and borrowed clothing, illustrating the contraposition between a found object and an object to be found.
