Eliahou Eric Bokobza, who was born in France to a family from Tunisia, mixes diverse visual sources
in his paintings: private family photographs, oriental and local symbols and images, Mediterranean paintings. from all these he concosts a series of very colorful paintings. On a background of repetitive patterns that contain an abundance of local, Orientalistic and other images ( eyes,fishes, sabra cactus plants, tombs of sheiks, airplanes, pioneers, Mickey Mouse figures, a portrait of Herzl), figures appear that are representations of local types ( a boy, a girl, a father, a mother,a soldier,an "Eastern" rabbi,etc)
in "photographic"poses,some of them cliche-like,and some ridiculous.
The paintings, which look a little naive and decorative, are not so innocent. Behind the strong coloring
and the amusing narrativity, there hides a critical statement about Zionism, family conventions, militarism, religiousness, and nationalism - in brief, about all the things that were meant to produce a " new Jewish man" out of the Israeli melting pot. Bokobza, in his paintings, reflects the strange outcome of this melting pot - a kind of jumble, or conglomerate, of everything mixed with everything. There is something heart-warming ( and,for those who dreamed, perhaps heart-breaking too) in their coloring and their inner wealth, which is an embodiment of the "post-Modern", and perhaps the "post-Zionist".

| 关于此艺术家 |
The paintings of Eliahou Eric Bokobza reveal the tremendous inspirational potential in the one-hundred year history of art in Israel. Bokobza bases his work on sources and traditions in local art, changing and adapting them to the contemporary period. He examines the iconography of the origins of artistic creation in Israel, intelligently working it over with the help of contemporary tools while emphasizing the importance of preserving traditions and original sources. Nonetheless, his works are characterized by a refreshing vitality, thus also portraying the moods and atmosphere of current times
