Most of the work has been done in the past year, the body of work represents a whole range of topics of interest and research by Rotem Amitsur. In the process of working in the studio, Amitsur turns to various sources to examine her pictorial worldview. Amitsur's work technique in collage is unique and taken directly from working in oil and observing past painters from the Italian Renaissance to Vermeer. In 2014, shortly after moving to Haifa, Amitsur looked at an old photograph of George Brack standing next to his easel. On the pedestal, drawing in the work process. Below the painting are 7 tools and in each of them a pre-mixed oil paint. The realization that Braque prepares the colors in advance, mixes them and balances the relationship between them and thus creates for himself a limited and clear framework of color harmonious relationships has brought to mind a new way of working. Brack actually prepared the tools for himself and created predefined rules of the game. Amitsur began to formulate her own rules of the game and developed the collage technique she works with to this day. The papers are pre-colored with reference solely to the enjoyment of the color itself "like candy in a candy store." Amitsur noticed that painters of the past used transparent layers of paint at opposite temperatures, so she also paints each paper in two colored layers, one hot and one cold. This results in a complex and airy color paper. The paper coloring phase can sometimes take several weeks. In the pictorial game, Amitsur dictates to herself a limited number of papers (colors) for each work at the beginning of the work. Another rule is that she never paints a new piece of paper while working but only uses the pre-painted papers, which sometimes leads to a shortage of a certain color and produces a "pictorial puzzle" that she has to solve during painting. The collage work is characterized by big and quick decisions. Amitsur exploits the game's potential and changes the work dozens of times, thus producing a large number of layers that hide "other reality possibilities" beneath the surface of the work. "The game ends when the painting takes place exclusively." This is where Rotem reaches the final stage of the game, the contagion stage. An intimate phase of close observation of every spot and shape precisely when the work is completed "like the stage of contemplation in a journey, when I remember all the adventures." There are a number of recurring themes in Rotem's work. Correspondence with past painters, for example Piero della Francesca and Matisse, lying naked, in the context of Titian Frank Auerbach and many others and delving into almost musical variations on the same subject. The English landscape series is a clear example of variations of this kind. The exhibition on display allows us an almost direct acquaintance with the artist's studio. The various topics, the constant correspondence with past artists, the guests who come to visit the studio, the family on vacation, the places she travels and the models she works with. In all of which there is a pleasure like that of a child, a surprise and wonder of what the world has to offer to paint.
