Guy Yanai’s paintings are defined by their vivid color schemes, simplified geometric shapes, and a deliberate flattening of depth. By abstracting everyday objects and scenes into stylized forms, he removes direct references to the tangible world, crafting images that often evoke the clarity and precision of digital media. His work draws from a diverse range of influences, including classical and contemporary artists, as well as imagery from television, advertising, and film—especially French cinema.
