As we approach the opening of Beauty is Deceptive, the first solo exhibition of Edit Ben Gida, we’re excited to share a sneak peek of a new series of oval paintings from the show.

Aurelia II and Aurelia I, 2026
Oil on wood
80 x 60 cm.

Inspired by the world of insects, these works challenge our attachment to facial features and conventional notions of beauty. One figure appears upside down, reflecting how in nature survival, adaptation, and transformation matter more than appearance. Surrounded by vivid reds and delicate wing-like forms, the paintings invite us to look beyond the surface and question what truly defines identity and beauty.

The oval format, historically associated with Renaissance and Victorian portraiture, was often reserved for idealized beauty, nobility, and remembrance. By placing hybrid human-insect figures within this traditional frame, Ben Gida creates a dialogue between classical ideals and contemporary questions of belonging, transformation, and perception.

Our newest artist at Corridor Contemporary: Tom Fima🍰

Tom Fima paints intimate portraits drawn from her inner circle, herself, the women around her, fleeting moments of quiet presence. Her soft, Impressionist-leaning surfaces are gently interrupted by elements of masking and veiling, hinting at what’s hidden beneath.

There’s a calm tension in her work: a direct gaze that feels both open and reserved, as figures subtly merge with their surroundings. Identity, in her paintings, feels fluid something sensed as much as seen.

Come explore her newest artworks at our current group show.

“A Private Paradise”
By Alec Demarco

Now live Online.

Explore the exhibition in its dedicated viewing room on Artsy.
Step into Alec DeMarco’s evolving world a space where painting becomes a language of memory, observation, and quiet transformation.

Here we gathers fragments of an ongoing process: canvases and works on paper that hover between the familiar and the imagined. Everyday encounters shift into something else entirely — fruit, animals, organic forms — never fixed, always in motion. What you recognize begins to blur, reshaped through repetition, variation, and subtle echoes across the works.

There’s no clear narrative here, only an internal rhythm. A logic that builds slowly, from within.

Not an escape — but a constructed, intimate world.
A place formed through attention, accumulation, and the act of truly looking.

A glimpse into something still unfolding, ahead of a solo presentation in 2027.

On this day, we remember the Shoah through the work of Igael Tumarkin, who confronts the loaded phrase “Arbeit macht frei”, forever tied to Auschwitz concentration camp and transforms it into a stark meditation on memory and identity.

In this work, history feels compressed like trauma carried quietly within. It is the original maquette for A Portrait of the Artist as a Mummy, later realized at the Hakone Museum of Art, where Tumarkin places himself inside that history, wrapped and preserved by it.

Between the intimate and the monumental, Tumarkin asks: how do we carry the past and how much of it carries us?

Igael Tumarkin
Macht Arbeit Frei, circa. 1990
Bronze and mixed media
33 9/10 × 43 3/10 × 19 7/10 in

As the gallery resumes normal hours, with hopes that quieter days lie ahead, the works of Alec DeMarco feel especially timely. 🍨☀️

Gelato First, 2025
Oil Paint on Canvas
72 x 84 in.
183 x 214 cm.

Painted during the previous war with Iran, they reflect a poignant perspective shaped by lived experience.

Across from the gallery, the ice cream spot Anita Gelato was always packed with people. Even between rocket alerts, crowds gathered for coffee and ice cream, sitting outside, smoking, and sometimes pushing babies in strollers. Life did not stop, even amid sirens and explosions.

“The people of Tel Aviv demonstrated a quiet, steady bravery. Living under constant threat, they relied on the protection of the Iron Dome, though it could never guarantee complete safety. Still, they carried on—sharing meals with family, supporting one another, and finding meaning in small, everyday moments.”

For this reason, DeMarco’s paintings from that period contain no depictions of violence. Instead, they present abstract figures eating gelato or families sheltering their children. The work speaks to a deliberate choice: to embrace life, tenderness, and joy, even when the sky above is uncertain.🍦🍨
