About

Arlene (O’hrlyn) grew up in Israel in an environment of Arts, theatre, music, dance and literature. Her drawings capture feelings of raw fluid rhythm as seen in some of her works as portraiture, Fragmented Art, traditional dancers or wildlife moving through time.

 

Throughout her Artistic path her work evolved from that of conventional art practices such as drawing, painting and sculpture to researching the language of art through sound. This technique is known as abstract visual art and Synesthesia in The Arts.

 

The abstract visual art form of Synesthesia is largely experimental, focusing on sense perceptions. Arlene now works out of her art studio at the arts centre in Kibbutz Neot Semadar, Israel.

Title: " After Rupture of The Deep"

Dedicated to Martha Graham Founder of Expressive Modern Ballet and the Memory of the Founder of Deep Purple-John Lord.

This art work's illustritive meaning is about practicing the method of Contraction and Release in continious gliding movements. This is factually paralel in art synesthesia. The colours of the dancer in the art work further denote her costume.

Having come from a background of dance (1964-1982), I executed fourteen layers in Pastels done to the somewhat analytical method of individually analysing the instruments and as an instrumental piece to the song "Rapture of The Deep" by Deep Purple and further taking the lyrics into account.

As the figures are transformed in various layers in an intuitive way to the rhythm and beat of the song, a further optical illusion appears as an erotic depiction of a couple dancing in fantasy world of their own.

The original art work -meant as a Tribute to Deep Purple is no longer available due to an illogical situation concerning an undelievered shipment. Nothing but a fly on a Lion's Head. All that remains is good old whiskey hour of Jazz & Blues music and watching Purple Skies. Not to mention taking deep breathing meditations.

Medium: Pastel Chalks and Pastel pencils on Castello Paper.

 Music: Deep-Purple rapture of the deep. Edel Records. 2005. 4.

Also drawn to various other albums: Fireball, Made in Japan, Gemini Suite, Bananas, Total Abandon Australia 99, In Rock-Remastered.

Solo Exhibition Kibbutz Neot Semadar Art Centre September 2020

Six of the art works eminated from video stills of overlays from photography and drawings done at Kibbutz Neot Semadar. The remainder, were drawings drawn to music feat of Rock and Jazz music (Deep Purple, Santana, Joe Bonamassa, Led Zepplin). This was an excecise in listening process and imagination and understanding the "movements" of sound in abstract form.

Sense of Belonging

                                                      Mixed media and pastel

The desire for social bonds and connection with others, is the theme for these art works.

This is the state I am in now. Striving to relate and care for others and to feel a satisfying involvement with a learning community.

In a sense it is a topic related to “Home” another theme I explored in 1995. Home then and now. To which one feels accepted, respected and supported by others in the school of social environment. A place with regular contact, and stability. Without it one feels isolated alienated and loneliness.

The colours are symbolic and represent a new phase. The overlays of the exhibition “home” over new art works represent two mid streams. The one of contentment the other, sadness and isolation.

They are mixed media – pastel and photography overlays.

The stills are part of a video by this name.

Art Works March 2017

I have a few new sketches in pastel. It has been an art journaling process.

There was no pre-conceived method, I just let the pencil "dance" on the page
to the rhythm of the music, giving contrast when needed. To some I drew blind that
is with eyes closed. I concentrated on line, texture, colour and shapes
All were done to the same song "Black Night" live version of Deep Purple.

I will use the images in overlaying technique in various future art works.

My new web site has been revised. Take a look. Comments welcome.

Best,

Arlene Rabinowitz

Drawings August 2016

Latest drawings this month just completed. Inspired by bush scenes.

Pastel on paper

Visual Music Set 51

The following images were drawn to Deep Purple's "Green onions/Hush and Black night" live versions.

I see and hear shapes from the music and these are translated on the page real time. 

There was no pre conceived idea of what the image will look like. I began drawing 

from left to right. An exhilarating experience both mentally and visually. 

The instrumental sounds surround the cube shapes and there was no pausing 

while drawing them.

There is also a section, in colour where I drew "blind" this was towards the end of 

making the image. The spaces were expressed through the point where instrumental 

music was played. There was factors of proximity and distance, convergence, 

progression and regression which were influenced by the sound, and depicted in 

colour, direction and overlaps. All lines, spaces, colours and volumes interact to 

set up space tensions.

There was also sensitivity to the pressure of the pencil on the medium, soft or hard, and in all direction overlapping lines.

I worked with layers in colours, listening to the same song a few times until the layers were completed.

Blue Vibes

Blue Vibes

This is one of the many visual music abstract art works I have done to Deep Purple’s piece-“Green Onions-Hush”. Deep- Purple being my favorite band has exceptional musicianship and never fails to excite me. Drawing to their music is a great joy, it enriches textures and brings rhythm into the works.

In this work there is a play between blues, reds purple and yellows, bravery, loving kindness and beauty. As always the piece was drawn real time to the music.

Shooting Star

My Latest art video.

Shooting Star

Way back I had a day dream of a man’s tear drop falling to earth in a shape of shooting star.

I was overcome by sadness and profound yearning. The connection materialized, exceeding boundaries. The process began with drawings in linear form in pastels on scroll format. Bearing in mind the emotive responses felt during the dream.

The art was drawn to D.J Aphrodite’s song titled “Woman that Rolls” from the album Aphrodite 1999. A befitting sensual beat for the piece.

The video was however, at a later stage assembled using various still shots of the art work to the music of Demma K. Music: “Os Sons do Inconsciente” from the album “Entre Cores e Sons” published by Demma K 2007.
