© Ra'anan Levy

Yellow Light is one of a series of works begun in 2003 exploring interiors, typically unpeopled domestic spaces. As in his earlier series of stainless steel sinks (1976), sewer drains (1998-2004), and common objects (1994), Levy foregrounds a space which more usually forms the background to human experience. The lead-white, Naples-yellow and vermillion palette, predominantly used to depict the human body, here highlights the lack of a human presence, evoking nostalgia for the lost home that is emblematic of the wider émigré experience.
