Description

Elena Gorn’s ״Solar Residue״ explores Tel Aviv’s modernist architecture and its interaction with light. Using acrylic and sand on canvas, the textured, minimalist geometry evokes Bauhaus legacy and the memory of the Mediterranean sun.

Created for the 25th anniversary of the Bauhaus Center Tel Aviv, this work reflects on the history of the city’s modernist facades and their dialogue with light. Palette-knife texture, a restrained color palette, and White City minimalism pay homage to the Bauhaus legacy.

Elena Gorn (b. 1978, Moscow) is a Tel Aviv–based artist whose minimalist, texture-driven paintings blend acrylic, sand, and granules to explore memory and material. Her work weaves personal and cultural narratives through abstract explorations of form and light.
