About the Item
Leead Shamir's "Two Faces" is an exquisite acrylic canvas that encapsulates the essence of duality and the complexity of human emotion. Born in 1969 in Ashkelon, Israel, Leead is an artist who values the unbridled freedom of expression that art affords her. This original piece is a testament to her journey through the spaces of intuition and emotion, drawing inspiration from the raw and untouched landscapes of the desert meeting the sea.
With no preliminary sketches, Leead allows her inner visions to spill onto the canvas, giving life to the abstract. "Two Faces" emerges from this spontaneous genesis, offering a vivid interplay of saturated colors and rich textures that evoke the geological strata of Leead's beloved desertscapes. Her expressive brushstrokes carve out a narrative that is both personal and universal, inviting viewers to delve into the dialogue between the painting's figures and the storied visages they wear.
The characters, echoing the grandiosity of myth and legend, stand as symbols of human culture's depth and diversity. Leead's work is a dance of figurative and abstract elements, where disproportionate heads and masked figures speak to the authenticity she champions, influenced by the uninhibited creativity of the children she teaches.
For the collector, "Two Faces" offers more than just a visual experience—it is a gateway to Leead's world, where imperfection is celebrated and the canvas becomes a playground for the wild, the free, and the profound. This piece is an invitation to connect with art that is raw, moving, and authentically human, echoing Leead's aspiration to touch and inspire audiences far and wide.

Gallerie Hughes Pénot, La Baule Singul’Art - Lyon Tel-Aviv - YAFO (Rétrospective - 350 oeuvres) Gallerie d’Art des Pyramides GF & CO Gallery - Vienne - Autriche MEETING WITH THE ARTIST: A work of art must allow itself to be viewed in a calm manner, with you letting your mind wander and allowing yourself to daydream. All forms of creative and recreational cultural expression are or should be an invitation to travel. Music, literature, poetry, theater, cinema, painting, sculpture, photography, and so on, are no exceptions to this rule when they carry a stamp of sincerity. An act of expression can only be authentic if it is not motivated by the constraints laid down by obligations, by recognition. Painting, like other means of expression, is a cry, a feeling, a listening process, pain, joy... a realization or an epiphany to be shared with my family and friends and with people who go to my exhibitions. In the former case I experience a real moment of sharing, a kind of osmosis. A work - irrespective of what it contains - is only successful as an act of expression if it contains life, something to think about, feelings a pathway to an exchange, an invitation concerning it and the observer. If this communion takes place, then the work is a good one. When the architecture of a work, its theme, the balance of forms and colors, the mobility or freedom of the eye, the seeing, and the thinking, are all present in a kind of harmony, there are no longer any obstacles between a work and us. After painting for more than 50 years, I have had many opportunities during the course of my exhibitions to express myself with visitors who wanted to go through the mirror of the initial visual impression of a painting. I find their uncertainties and their desire to know - more than just view - touching. Other visitors view, sometimes view themselves, and then continue going around a gallery having ''read'' paintings in their own ways. Some people cast a disinterested passing glance, and, very sure of themselves, continue on their way. These people are sometimes in the majority. After having worked in conjunction with several gallery-owners, exhibited my work in France and abroad, I have never agreed to sign a contract. I never express myself on an imposed topic, work, based on an order, or work at a certain speed. Art cannot be dictated, it cannot be ordered. Life, time, kindness, love, madness, freedom, money, politics, the mind, the heart, its opposite, popular and honest art, all of life's facets and asses became my life. They are my reflective and observational canvas in terms of the content of my paintings. Developments, variations on forms have taken place, but never in relation to the basics of my process. On this journey I came across ''sand'', which can be found on the surface of my paintings from 1966 to 1998 - and occasionally after 1998. We are made of dust, and must return to dust. Humbleness is a watchword which is included in one way or another, in my paintings, by means of signs or of small sentences, and this is notably the case in relation to topics addressed concerning covetousness, temptation, greed, selfishness, hypocrisy, success at any price, lying, power, money, art for money's sake people, and so forth. I hesitated a very long time before writing about my painting. I believed that doing so was a bit like usurping the role of the ''watchers'', those people who prefer to have their own interpretation, and prefer to take the tome to uncover, in the meanders of my handwriting and my short sentences, the keys, crucial details and symbols in my works - what is hiding behind the initial image. When you read a good book or listen to music, you do not make decisions based on the title of the book or on the first note...Category
