Artist Ayelet Gal-On does not just paint; she builds, layering oil, acrylic and plaster on canvas. Gal-On's signature subjects for "Taken by the Wind, Swept by the Light," her upcoming solo exhibition at Gallery 9 in Los Altos, are white dresses that appear to hang on a line, defying the stillness of the canvas. "I love the process of playing with color," says the artist.

At least that's how it felt to me, puttering along on the 27 to Paddington that is the National Portrait Gallery's trawl through Lucian Freud's sketches, engravings and even childhood crayonings, daydreaming until my stop, with the occasional flash of colour and flare when one of the exhibition's carefully selected group of important paintings rolled past.

However, his witty humor, self-deprecation, paranoia, narcissism, anti-establishment commentary, and self-proclaimed neurosis - almost to a point of pride - have reached a new level of darkness.

In April 2023, all-out civil war erupted between rival military groups who sought to control the government: the country's armed forces and a paramilitary group called Rapid Support Forces (RSF). All results of decades of tensions, the evolving and disastrous struggle continues today.
I say surprising because, of course, when it comes to Renoir, we think almost at once of his paintings: all those apple-cheeked ladies and children living in a kind of bourgeois haze of comfort.

For well over a century it was a family secret: Vincent van Gogh's sister-in-law, Jo Bonger, had a short relationship with the Dutch Impressionist painter Isaac Israëls. Amsterdam's Van Gogh Museum has just published the surviving sent by Israëls to Bonger, and is presenting a about their "intimate friendship'.
