Jean-Philippe Moinet

“These paintings by Roee Suffrin are invitations to modernity.

The brushstrokes resemble the mangas (print cartoons) of the Far East:

the feminine figure, childlike figure, is presented like an invitation to humanity,

amidst a technological décor where tough, mechanical figures also have a presence and a role.

We are thus plunged in the ambivalent world which touches and absorbs our gaze.

The play of warm colors and realistic shapes lead, first and foremost, to life.

Jewish mysticism is also present in an iconography that is simultaneously classical and hyper-modern, where time has no hold.

All the better ….. Thus tradition and modernity, in the invisible alliance of the paintbrush, have no borders, and no limits.”
