| Shalom Neuman | |
)
|
Shalom Tomas Neumann was born in Prague, Czechoslovakia in July, 1947. He is the last surviving male of a large Jewish family, most of whom perished in Nazi Germany’s Holocaust. His family escaped from Prague towards the end of the war and emigrated to Haifa, Israel where he spent his childhood. When he was 12 Shalom, his sister and his parents emigrated to Pittsburgh, PA. He has lived in the United States ever since and has made New York City his home since the early 1980’s. Shalom resides in one of New York's outer boroughs and works out of his studio in Fort Green, Brooklyn. He has taught at The Cooper Union, Parsons School of Design, and has been a visiting lecturer at The School of Visual Arts and Yale. He currently teaches at Pratt Institute of Technology. He exhibits in the United States, South America, Asia and throughout Europe. |
| About the Artist | |
If our world is composed of overlapping stimuli which create constant sensory overload, then why should visual art limit itself to any one discipline such as painting, sculpture, the printed word, video, performance/action, or computerized digital images? Is it not true that imagery is inseparable from sound and evolution in time? And if that is the case, shouldn’t art be a mirror which accurately reflects our environment, our society and our culture? |

Fusion Golem
1996 |
)
|
| The Fusion Golem took more than 3 years to create. They are both close to 396 cm tall and are robotic multidisciplinary sculptural oil paintings with found objects and artificial lights. They represent the ego and macho thinking that so many men protect within themselves. |
|
Classical Myth
1969 |
)
|
| Classical Myth was inspired by the artist's belief that all religion is merely a myth. He referenced Tintoretto"s Madonna and Child to highlight the long promoted adsurdity that Jesus was blond, blue-eyed and fair skinned despite the relality that he was a semitic living in the middle east and most probably had features more in keeping with the Madonna in Classical Myth.

Jew
1986 |
)
|
| "Jew" is a sculptural work with painting and found objects that speaks to the Jewish immigrant experience in the aftermath of W.W. II. It is an autobiographical work that specifically reflects the artist's painful experience of fleeing with his family from his birthplace in Prague, Czech Republic to the relative safety of Israel, where he spent his early childhood. |
