Vivid 125 is an acrylic painting by Orit Fuchs. It bears the subtitle “If you want to Fly, give up everything that weighs you down”. In particular, the paintings of the Vivid series are typical of Orit Fuchs. What’s particularly refreshing, is that she doesn’t try to glamorize women or turn them into banal objects of perfection. Instead, she tries to capture their drama, their sass, their inner confidence, their outspoken sex appeal, and their unadulterated charm. In this sense, her VIVID series images are reminiscent of photographs of the elusive female soul. They feel like looking through the eyes of a poet in love, capturing all the spontaneous beauty and magic that flows from these women’s expressions. Further evidence of her unusual approach is her Short Stories series, which features faceless women in trivial but wonderfully natural moments. Fuchs puts the viewer in a poetic mood and lets them fill in the blanks themselves. The colors she chooses evoke the emotions each image is meant to capture. This series seems personal and universal at the same time. At first glance it may seem extremely simple, but it is the kind of simplicity that borders on genius.
