Paintings with a Right Persuasion
The paintings in this folder are my few works
with an overt "political" message,
catalyzed by the impossible & grim
state of affairs in Israel & the world today.
Jihad Terrorist - Surprise!
acrylics on canvas
26"
x 62" (66 x 158 cm)
The surprised face of a terrorist
who has just blown himself up (and others as well)
and instead of entering a paradise with 72 virgins
finds himself burning in hell.
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.
The triptych could be used
for events to arouse public
opinion about extremist Islam.
It would be certainly a shocking eye stopper!
People have told me it is of museum quality
and ultimately I would like it to be shown
as a permanent exhibition
in a major public place for maximum impact.
The Face of the Generation is the Face of a Dog
26" x 62" (66 x 158 cm)
פני הדור כפני הכלב
A description from the Talmud about the (our) period
preceeding the Advent of Moshiach (the Messiah)
The "Face" of the Generation" refers to the leaders
who will have the "Face of a Dog"
with all the dissonant connotations this implies.
Swallowing One's Friend Alive
(The Expulsion of the Jews from Gush Katif)
acrylics on canvas
26"
x 62" (66 x 158 cm)
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)

Eyes and Lies
acrylics on canvas
26"
x 62" (66 x 158 cm)
Relating to the duplicity and perfidy
of political leaders in general.
If you can discern the gestalt
of someone known and famous,
it is probably an accident
or perhaps a prophecy,
certainly not contrived.
