Guy Yanai

b. 1977, Haifa, Israel. Guy Yanai is a Tel Aviv and Marseille-based artist whose paintings are characterized by bold colors, simplified shapes, and a flattened depth of field. In his work, the banal is reduced to geometric segments in a stripping away of references to the tangible world in favor of a visual experience that is more akin to digital imagery—drawing landscapes images from his wanderings around the globe, or French filmography scenes through which he reminiscence.
