Stillness
and contemplation
The Hub Gallery hosted David Guez’s touring solo exhibition in Tel Aviv, following recent showings in Monaco, Milan, and Saint-Tropez.
This edition of Spiritual Landscape brought together a refined selection of luminous, large-scale oil paintings that invite stillness and contemplation - abstract canvases that pulse with memory, silence, and emotional resonance.

Color, depth,
and presence
These compositions exemplify David Guez’s chromatic language — where gesture becomes meditation and color becomes a field of emotional gravity.
David’s participation in the Mark Rothko International Painting Symposium highlighted his contribution to contemporary abstraction, situating his work within ongoing conversations around color, depth, and presence in the painted field.

A single red form
Here, a single red form activates an expanse of textured yellow, revealing David’s fascination with thresholds: moments where form emerges from silence.
The surface carries a physical memory of each stroke — a quiet insistence that abstraction can still hold presence, intimacy, and narrative.

Frequency of stillness
Visitors encountered a progression of works that unfold like emotional chapters.
The exhibition design emphasized the paintings’ meditative qualities, allowing viewers to move through color as one moves through states of mind, each canvas offering a distinct frequency of stillness.

Landscapes
beyond geography
Installed as a continuum, this series revealed how David’s practice oscillates between intensity and restraint.
The works function as visual scores: chromatic rhythm, repetition, and subtle shifts in gesture evoke landscapes that exist beyond geography: inner territories shaped by memory and renewal.

A vessel for contemplation
and inner tension
A luminous conclusion to the exhibition, this golden composition explores light as a sensory and emotional presence.
Its radiance and structural clarity reflect David’s ongoing engagement with color as a vessel for contemplation and inner tension.
