In some she\u00a0engages\u00a0movement by\u00a0creating\u00a0paintings that function as video and, or dance performance,\u00a0offering<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>a platform for questioning our environments.\u00a0Anavy seeks to undo the dense capsule of landscape-place-environment from a different angle each time.\u00a0Her settings examine broader social contexts through a diversity of imagery, materials and architecture.<\/p><p>Anavy&#8217;s research-based practice draws from\u00a0gardens\u00a0and water as major artistic themes through which she explores the structuring of different cultural spaces and their liminal borders. The Garden, a repeating element in\u00a0her<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>work, is a symbol for cultivated nature and control, while water channels, such as oceans and rivers, represent wildness, movement, and freedom.\u00a0Anavy&#8217;s<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>installations address\u00a0our experience with the natural world; inviting the viewer to reflect on the history of waterways and reconsider their immediate environment in our rapidly changing world.\u00a0<\/p><p>In her work process she questions\u00a0the spiritual and social significance\u00a0that different forms around us hold,<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>including\u00a0shapes from nature, architecture\u00a0and\u00a0everyday life.

She creates forms that reflect on the boundary between concrete and abstract. Anavy\u00a0deals\u00a0with the medium of painting, and the transformation of a painting into a sculptural and architectural element in space.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0299d4a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"0299d4a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">BIO<\/h4>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ea9ea2c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ea9ea2c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Keren Anavy is a New York based multidisciplinary visual artist, working in drawing, painting, installation and performance.
