ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Yaron Dotan is a Los Angeles-based artist who works in a variety of media and styles to produce optical drawings, narrative paintings, portraiture and video art. He holds an MFA from Tufts University, an MS Ed. from St. John’s University, and a BA in English Literature from Queens College.
Having only ever seen out of one eye, Dotan has used what would otherwise be a hindrance to heighten his creativity. Through a body of optical paintings that combine realistic imagery with rhythmic lines inspired by optical design, he poses questions about the nature of perception, illusion, invisibility, and certainty.

DESCRIPTION
The Constant Song:
A woman with a solemn expression, long dark hair, dark eyes and a tan complexion holds a nautilus shell to her ear with her right hand. A wedge of narrow white horizontal bands, separated by thin black lines that resemble piano keys, extends from the lower left edge to cover much of her face. The missing section of her face sits to the right, partially over her hair and partially over another larger black and white segment. This segment contains a swirl of the nautilus shell and has thicker black lines.
