About the Artist

I am engaged in the converging vectors of art and science, but receive added inspiration from kabbalah teachings & meditation and try to create visual forms conducive to mystical experience and self-transformation.
Most of my work would seem to fall within the abstract illusionist genre. This is especially true of my Dialogue series, my major preoccupation for the last two years, based on two cartoon faces in confrontation.

Dialogue # 18 Birthing

2005
acrylic on canvas
94 x 94

Inspired by my studies of the teachings of the noted philosopher, Martin Buber (the famous I-Thou / I-It paradigm) and its application in modern Gestalt psychology. The I-Thou Dialogues show two faces in harmony and balance, while in the I-It paintings (which I call Anti-logues), the second face is diminished or non-existent. Birthing can be considered the primal example of the I – THOU dialogue paradigm.

Dialogue # 26 Vortex

2006
acrylic on canvas
94 x 94

Hold my hand as we drown together into the black hole of transcendence.

Dialogue # 26 Marriage

2006
acrylic on canvas
94 x 94

A censored portrait of the artist & his wife.

Anti-logue # 11 Greed

2005
acrylic on canvas
94 x 94

The I – IT paradigm. Exploiting & sucking the life force of the other.

Anti-logue # 14 Gluttony

2005
acrylic on canvas
94 x 94

The I – IT paradigm. Here the “other” doesn’t exist at all – only me, me, me and my tummy. The above pictures are only a small selection from my Dialogue series which currently numbers 40 paintings (viewable on my web site) with at least another 10 in progress.

Dialogue #21 - Nuptials

2005
acrylic on canvas
94 x 94

Dialogue #33 - The Shechina

2007
acrylic on canvas
94 x 94

From the Dialogue Antilogue series, visual paradigms for communication and its opposite

Dialogue # 37 - Getting Visceral

2007
acrylic on canvas
84 x 84

A Slice of Life

Emerging from Chaos

2008

Dialogue # 20 Inside the Brain

2005
acrylic on canvas
94 x 94

The EEG battle between the good and evil inclinations in one’s head.

Swallowing one's friend alive

2008
triptych 66 x 158

Swallowing one's friend alive
Pray for the authority of the government, because if there were no fear from it, each person would swallow his friend alive. (Ethics of the Fathers 3:2) For more information: http://www.art.net/TheGallery/Vision/Statement.html

Eyes and Lies

2008
triptych 66 x 158

Eyes and Lies
acrylic on canvas

Abraham' s Holocaust Prophecy

2005
76 x 102

The Patriarch Abraham was ordered to pass through a set of animal carcasses (Genesis 15: 7-15) to receive the frightening prophesy of the Exile, not only to Egypt,but to all the future Exiles (including the Holocaust) that his descendants would suffer.

Meditation on a Point

2005-8
acrylic on canvas
84 x 84

Simulating the entering into the vortex of no-return that many people have described in their near-death experience.

Be a Shaheed and Go Straight to Hell!

2008
acrylic on canvas
66 x 158

This triptych is perhaps my most macabre work and one of my rare political statements catalyzed by the impossible & grim state of affairs in Israel & the world today.

Dialogue 36 Keep your guard up!

2008
acrylic on canvas
94 x 94

Ultimate defense mechanism and tribute to Picasso's minotaur.

Dialogue # 38 - Searching for the Light

2009
acrylic on canvas
84 x 84

Dialogue # 38 - Searching for the Light
Searching for the candle of illumination, heavily screened by what the Kabbalah calls the perspective from the "Skin of the Serpent" a metaphor for our carnal, mundane "reality"
 
Education and biography
Central HS (211), B.A. Haverford College. Never formally studied painting in art school. In the 60's I was an "underground" filmmaker and made the well regarded: "Eargogh", starring Jack Smith as Vincent. Between 1970 and 1994 worked as film director, mainly for Israel TV, as well as creating videoart.
My transition to painting came accidentally. Stills from my videos attracted a local gallery which deemed it worthy for an exhibition. I quickly learned to transfer their essential design to canvas using airbrush and other techniques. Since 1995 I have created over 400 paintings, exhibited in galleries & museums in Israel and USA.
