Rabbis

Oil paintings series  2007.

This series follows the folkloristic tradition of Rabbi's paintings that are well distributed in Jewish ultra-orthodox worldwide, but mainly in Jerusalem. Yet, in a contemporary art context, this serves as a painterly investigation of how these spiritual authorities convey themselves in front of an earthly human positioning as a camera and how a contemporary artist approaches religious images in a secular manner.
