The Rabbi

Oil on canvas

Untitled in the artist's archive; a descriptive title is used here.

A figure stands wrapped head to shoulder in a white prayer shawl, eyes closed and mouth open on a note we cannot hear, against a city built from blocks of red, ochre and blue. The face is the only quiet surface in a painting otherwise made entirely of noise.
