VIBRATE ARTWORK BY RONEN AZULAY

In Pulse, Azulay continues his tactile investigation into rhythm, presence, and internal awareness through a new visual lexicon. Departing from the circular motifs that have long characterized his practice, this series marks a formal and emotional shift toward linear structures that foreground organic, undulating intervals. This visual language that feels less enclosed, more open to interruption, improvisation, and directional flow. This evolution parallels the artist’s own trajectory from anxiety and constraint toward clarity, forward motion, and presence

Azulay’s materials—hand-cut textiles, repurposed leathers, and layered threads—are composed with a deliberate sensitivity to both repetition and variation. The surface of each work is constructed through a process of incremental assembly, where stripes appear not as decorative pattern but as registers of tempo, irregular yet precise. The resulting compositions suggest an embodied rhythm discovered and refined through the act of making

Despite their outward simplicity, the works in Pulse are charged with quiet complexity. The stripes vary in width, orientation, and density, generating subtle visual tensions that mirror the irregularities of lived experience. In this way, Azulay challenges the viewer to slow down—to move beyond the immediate graphic impact and engage with the layered nuances of material, rhythm, and repetition. Each work is an invitation to listen, to feel, and to resonate with the pulse that surrounds us all

In Vibrate, Azulay constructs a finely tuned surface of material contrasts and rhythmic intervals, articulating a sensorial space where repetition becomes a mode of reflection. Composed of repurposed leather, denim, and layered textiles, the diptych engages tactility as a primary mode of communication

The linear bands, varied in tone, texture, and spacing, oscillate across the composition with quiet insistence. Their alignment is never rigid, but subtly responsive, appearing to register shifts in breath, thought, or pulse. The diptych format reinforces spatial tension that emphasizes the viewer’s role in perceiving rhythm across two adjoining planes. Vibrate slows the viewer’s gaze and invites a somatic kind of attention—one that mirrors the artist’s own evolving relationship to presence and embodiment
