Punto. Dos puntos ... Puntos ... Mirit Ben Nun

Cuando la pintura aborigen (de las tribus aborígenes australianas) fue revelada a Occidente, en los años 70' del siglo pasado, inyectó una nueva adrenalina en la pintura moderna y fue rápidamente aceptada, no solo como legítima sino también como influyente e inspiradora. Es un arte tribal, que satisface las necesidades rituales de crear símbolos religiosos y de una estética fluida caracterizada por los colores de la tierra. También artistas africano-occidentales contemporáneos, como Chris Opili y Vinka Shonibary, han enfatizado elementos similares en su trabajo y han desviado la atención hacia la misma continua necesidad de crear superficies con puntos de color, que provocan placer visual gracias a su textura aterciopelada, rica en colores y formas sinuosas.

No hay duda de que de allí surge la pintura de Mirit Ben Nun, que aparece como un meteorito refrescante en nuestro cielo ya saturado de un arte repleto de mensajes e imágenes fotográficas. Como artista autodidacta, ella creció fuera del bien lubricado sistema de las academias de arte, y no sufre por la búsqueda constante de sentido y contenido. Su pintura irrumpe como emergente de una necesidad primaria de provocar a la superficie pictórica, de atacarla con una obsesión sin freno, que no deja rincones ocultos. La necesidad de expresión no se detiene ni por un momento, quiere continuar fluyendo junto con la tempestuosa agitación anímica, tal vez para apaciguar a los demonios que andan corriendo en su interior. Esta pintura atrae y arrastra porque es primigenia, libre de justificaciones y de sentimientos de culpabilidad por ser "no intelectual". Proviene del mismo lugar donde se generan los impulsos creativos-psíquicos inconscientes, no adaptados todavía al lenguaje de códigos que requieren ser descifrados.

El espectador de Mirit Ben Nun es "atacado" por la abundancia de color, por formas decorativas repetitivas, y por imágenes comparativas que pueden identificarse y captarse rápidamente. Para el ojo acostumbrado a esta sofisticada forma de arte, esto es como aspirar una ráfaga de belleza instantánea.

Tal vez este es el tiempo y el lugar de volver a reflexionar sobre las profundas raices de una cultura que va ramificándose, que durante generaciones ha sido cubierta por una gruesa capa de teorías y de "…ismos"

She brought the acrylic into her world of lines and dots; she went back to painting women and masks that appeared in her childhood paintings and flooded them with lines and dots without separating body and background.

This is also the moment when Ben-Nun began to refer to herself as a painter.

and when art became the center of her life.

The intense colors in Ben-Nun's paintings sweep the viewer into a sensual experience. The viewer traces the surge of dots and lines formed in packed layers of paint. The movement leads to a kind of female-male hormonal dance within the human body and to a communion with an artistic experience of instinct, passion, conceiving and birth.

Contributing to this experience is the wealth of characteristics reminiscent of tribal art. Ben-Nun merges these with a humorous and kicking contemporary Western Pop art. In the language of unique art, Ben-Nun creates an unconventional conversation between past and present cultures.

It is evident that the paintings emerge from a regenerated need and desire, a force that erupts from her soul, a subconscious survival instinct to which she cannot or does not want to resist.

Ben-Nun places women at the center stage where they are her work focus. The paintings obsessively deal with the existential experience of being a woman in the world. A few of the women's paintings carry feminist slogans stressing the women's struggle in society, a critique for being held to perfection and being required to perform as a model of "beauty, purity and motherhood". Feminism pulsates in Ben-Nun's psyche, through her diverse female images and the play between beauty and unsightliness; Ben-Nun assimilates the consciousness of feminine possibility, of not being "perfect", of being powerful, influential, and outside social norms. This mandates a departure from acceptable limitations where Ben-Nun creates a new world of free spirit for women.

Mirit Ben-Nun is a mother of three and the grandmother of three grandchildren.
