We wrote an article about the history of bathrooms in modern and contemporary art through the new painting by Meidad Landoy. Here is an excerpt from the article:

" Recently, Meidad Landoy painted a new artwork as part of his museum series. This time, another space from the Tel Aviv Museum. "Which one" you ask? The entrance hall with Yaacov Agam’s "Procession of Time"? One of the galleries? Perhaps the iconic "Lightfall" of the new wing? No, Landoy painted the urinals in the restroom. When I first saw it, I was surprised, and as I delved deeper into the artwork, I discovered fascinating elements that are not only present in Landoy’s artwork but resonate throughout the broader art world, from modern art to the most contemporary artwork.

So, allow me to be blunt: artists are creatures of “convenience”, they like the muses to come to them. They paint still-life because there are fruits at home, and they search for the ideal landscape through their window.
In this article, I want to address an everyday subject that repeatedly appears in modern and contemporary art - the bathroom. "
