Roy Nachum artist research

 














Roy Nachum is an artist that is from Israel playing with ideas in relation to sight and blindness working  in braille. Within this minimal coloured painting that appears to have a muteness and the potential to be interpreted as a sadness. With the colour there is the braille touch sensory communication and the balloon that is black. Is this playing on a perception of blindness. And then there is a crown that is not traditionally sat in a place for the eyes to see or to be seen

Looking at the image below that is slightly blurred with Braille, the muted black and white scenery with the focal point of the crown with braille on the crown. In the imagery in a space that resembles 
the beach. Black and white is classic

Distorted yet clear to the viewer the crown covers the eyes again there is a focus on the gold over the eyes with braille that communicates strength. To a person who does not read braille, this is a world seen yet hidden in a braille that not everyone understands unique or alone? In an endless distant world that is black and white.
