Exploring the borders of the sensible world, Brodskis’ work evolves between conscious and unconscious spaces, leading to a reflection on the existence, the self and the otherness. The idea of being in an in-between is very central in Brodskis work, this intermediate space at the cross-roads of empirical reality and imagination, order and disorder, materialism and spirituality, determinism and freedom. Through her paintings, Brodskis also expresses the ephemerality of life.
'Omar' is a portrait of a teenager that often came to play ball-games downstairs from Rebecca Brodskis' studio.
