Omri Sudri’s paintings are ones of absences and ellipses: fleeting visions, faceless figures, and cryptic parables. While primarily, the works take intuitive departure from the artist’s emotional state, Sudri’s compositions are also products of the artist's memory and a rich legacy of modernist, realist, and classical thought. Painted in a limited palette of chalky white, velveteen navy, and moody ochres, the works present dispassionate portals into distinctly charged, aesthetic premises. Hazy figures, vacant spaces, and distorted perspectives evoke a dream-like restraint, as if seen through misted glass.

In all of Sudri’s paintings, there is a sense that if we were to look away, the figures in the composition would continue, much like thoughts continue to percolate in the subconscious while the waking mind operates. Each work moves within a world of its own interior logic, defying exegesis, and delighting in its singularity. His most recent exhibition at ADZ titled, Passages, makes latent reference to this, nodding to passing thoughts, and a dispassionate drive in which questions are posed but answers remain just out of reach.
