The delight of art by autism

Fifty-seven-year-old artist Shlomi Leizarov is incompetent to speak, though he doesn’t have to – his paintings contend it all. Soon to be on arrangement in Tel Aviv, Leizarov’s vivid, witty paintings tell a stories that he can't verbalize, since of his autism.

“I unequivocally adore his ability to demonstrate his feelings in smashing shapes and colors and beauty that is bursting from a canvases that he is painting,” pronounced Rachel Sukman, boss of a International Association of Art Critics Israel and conduct curator of a Office in Tel Aviv Gallery, where Leizarov’s paintings will hang.

Sukman came opposite Leizarov’s design dual years ago, when a crony of hers with a special-needs son mentioned him and his art. When she listened that Leizarov had constructed hundreds of pieces, Sukman motionless to call Leizarov’s father. “She invoked my curiosity,” Sukman said.

Since then, Sukman has met with Leizarov’s father any week for dual or 3 hours, to plead his son and his artwork.

Leizarov’s paintings comparison a categories of artistic styles and movements, according to Sukman. Some of his paintings underline large, fluent strokes, while others include of accurate strokes and soothing colors. His works try by surrealism during times, infrequently holding on a qualities of art brut – a character of art that is mostly adopted by educated artists.

“His artistic countenance is like there is some-more than one artist vital in him,” Sukman said. “He is like augmenting himself though in opposite ways, since when he starts to paint, he can’t stop. It’s something that is bigger than him, and he doesn’t caring what is around him, who is around him.”

Leizarov’s opposite pieces share a certain clarity of naïveté and playfulness, that is what creates them so changed in Sukman’s eyes.

“His paintings demeanour really childish, in a way, and this was also a movement: a childish approach to demonstrate yourself,” she said.

Leizarov mostly portrays humans and vital creatures with a clarity of adore and attraction toward them; many of his images uncover people collected together for several occasions, either it be a birthday party, a choir opening or a picnic. He takes people informed to him from opposite walks of life and paints them sitting around a same table.

Already during a age of three, Leizarov busied himself with a brush. He perceived no grave training until new years, when he began to accommodate with a few art teachers.

Leizarov’s father is really clinging to his artistic achievement, according to Sukman. He drives his son to his studio, that he visits 3 or 4 times any day.

In between operative for Ofarim, a encampment where he lives in Ashdod, Leizarov loses himself during his canvas, that he works during relentlessly.

“He has this ability to paint for hours; he will not leave a board until finished,” Sukman said.

Leizarov mostly paints from memory and tends to use any materials that are around him when a titillate to paint overcomes him.

“He’s doing whatever he feels a same moment,” Sukman remarked. “He has no bounds or manners of this disease that all of these insider artists have.”

Leizarov’s work will be on arrangement starting Aug 22, during 7:30 p.m. This will be a initial time his design will be exhibited in a gallery. Past presentations of his work have been usually on a metropolitan level. Sukman hopes that this event will be only a commencement for him.

“He is so special, and his paintings can be represented in museums in Israel and in any gallery in Tel Aviv,” she said. “The indicate is that nobody pays courtesy to people that are a small different, and maybe we am a initial one, though not a final one.”
