The body of work by Or Shlomo Dahan, presented here for the first time, is the result of two years of intensive material and formal research in his studio in Jaffa. Dahan, born in Mitzpe Ramon and self-taught in ceramics, fuses the desert landscapes of his childhood into clay, alongside the visual language he developed through his studies in Visual Communication at Bezalel.
The works, each one-of-a-kind and handmade using the slab-building technique, move between the archaic and the modern: between rocky textures and vivid glazes, and symmetrical, upright, almost ritualistic compositions. Some are constructed from separate segments that come together to form a single whole, in a process that requires engineering precision and meticulous planning.
This is an encounter between desert stillness and power and an urban aesthetic, inviting us to see clay as an expression of emotional and material architecture.

Liminality explores the transformative space between what has been and what is yet to emerge. The exhibition invites viewers into a realm of transition, where memory, emotion, and perception continuously reshape identity and experience.
Through a vibrant visual language of color, movement, and layered abstraction, Karina Lumière creates immersive emotional landscapes that reflect moments of awakening, release, uncertainty, and renewal. Working with acrylic and mixed media, she builds luminous compositions that radiate inner energy and invite contemplation rather than narrative interpretation.
The exhibition unfolds through four interconnected stages: Emergence, Release, Suspension, and Transformation. Each phase is expressed through a distinct color atmosphere, guiding the viewer through an intuitive journey of personal and emotional change. Soft mint tones evoke awakening and sensitivity; terracotta embodies liberation and emotional flow; cobalt blue reflects introspection and pause; and rich purples suggest renewal, intuition, and becoming.
Drawing on the expressive power of color and abstraction, Lumière's paintings exist as spaces of reflection where personal experience meets universal human emotion. Rather than depicting a fixed reality, the works open a dialogue between the visible and the felt, inviting viewers to inhabit the threshold between certainty and possibility.
Presented at Fresh Paint Art Fair in collaboration with international collector and curator Serge Tiroche, Liminality marks a significant chapter in Karina Lumière’s artistic journey and offers a compelling exploration of transformation through the language of color.
