About the Artist

Tinker (Tinkerbell), b. 1977 in Haifa, is an artist and creator who lives and works in the Arava, the Negev desert in southern Israel. She has a background in acting and writing, and received several professional recognitions in the field, including the Ophir Award for Best Actress. She later founded the Arava International Film Festival with her spouse Eyal Shiray (2012), and together with a few other artists, she established the ‘Vidor Artists' Colony’ (a.k.a ‘Artists’ Village’) in Tzukim, Ha’Arava.

 

For over a decade, Tinker painted and created behind closed doors in parallel with her work in the fields of culture and cinema, and in recent years she began to present significant solo exhibitions that sparked attention in the Israeli art field, including ‘Volvanerable’, 2022 in Tzukim Gallery (curated by Oren Fischer), and ‘TINKER’ at the Lobby Art Space Tel Aviv in 2023 (curated by Orit Mor). 

 

Her works embody imagined worlds with a distinct personal aesthetic signature. As someone who was initially considered an outsider-autodidact artist, Tinker developed her oeuvre without academic or disciplinary boundaries. Her paintings, which are included in various private collections, conduct an intense dialogue with drawing and intuitive work, writing, diary-biographical, and at times disturbing approaches, and often embody female, childlike hybrid creatures that refer to themes of birth, sex, beauty, violence, and death.

 

The featured works in Givon on Paper were made on Fabriano paper that she purchased from an artist who moved to Germany in light of the political escalation in Israel. Tinker created the work during a Friday dinner, in which she tried to avoid social small talk. She began to work with her immediate surroundings; with locally produced wine and beetroot that she later mixed with orange ink. The use of these materials and the settings for her creation prompted her to continue with the diptych and to add more alternative substances such as black coffee.
