"My childhood years," recalls sculptor Shimon Reznik, "resembled a life within a cloud of smoke. My life centered around the words of the song ברענט שטעטל אונדזער it is) ס'ברענט, burning, the town is burning). The fire has long ended, but the smoke continues to rise from the ashes."Recently, after years of singing in a choir, Reznik and his friends embarked on a journey to Poland led by conductor and composer Yaacov Hollander who, as an adolescent, survived the Holocaust in Poland. After returning to Israel, Reznik began to create sculptors based on

what he has seen and experienced. The result was a flow of sculptures made from recycled metal, conveying the words "I will remember the way, I will remember home...". One can imagine hearingthe branding of the numbers, as well as the sound of the hollow space left after the fire. These voices reside alongside voices of Jews with unknown faces, and from nothingness arises being - the Sabra stands before me ory, shedding his thorns, delicate and perceptive.

Shimon Reznik is an Israeli sculptor constantly inspired by the change, contradiction and reconciliation that form the circles of life.Arriving in Israel from the Ukraine at age 10, the Middle Eastern sun and colorful harbor lights awakened, perhaps for the first time, the true artist within. As a soldier, encouters with the vast desert landscape of Sinai inspired Reznik to begin sculpting.Working with street gangs and hearing-impaired children as a social worker in the 1970's and 1980's caused Reznik to embrace expresion as a key element in his artistic vision, while also nourishing his ability to connect with his surroundings without words.Life's experiences – nature, war and memory – have led Reznik on a spiritual path that incorporates internal energy flow and the art of sculpting.Shimon Reznik is a graduate of the Ramat Hasharon Art College, and his sculptures have been displayed in galleries and exhibitions all over the world, garnering recognition and

praise. Reznik's current work merges iron, bronze and brass contours with

clay and glue, creating sculptures that, in the artist's words, "grasp without grasping".In 2009, after a visit to concentration camps in Poland, Reznik created a series of iron sculptures based on the Holocaust, that seem to express the words: "Remember the path, remember home…" In the words of Taal Stoobik Gallery: "Shimon Reznik's sculptures and methods reflect the ideals of Tao and the Internal Path. Each sculpture begins with a random sketch.

Reznik allows the pencil to lead him, withholding thoughts and critique. After days, months and even years, Reznik returns to his sketches and begins sculpting. Bent iron, bronze or brass threads form the sculpture's formative base, after which comes clay and glue, and the sculpture's final shape is created".

I paint in watercolor on paper mostly landscape and still life. My work tends to be expressive and spontaneous. Watercolor is a dynamic medium and enables the painting process to be an interaction between the subject the painting and me. I am an industrial designer, but along the years I moved to do 3D animation. In the last few years I built puppets and performed two plays I wrote. I never stopped painting since I was a child and I probably will never stop.

Atar perceives iron, which is a medium full of contradictions, as most suitable for expressing his complex inner world, at times through posing a struggle and at times through accommodating a dialog. Atar's work is very personal and emanates from within him as a figurative expression of his emotional world. When iron sculpting became a central activity in his life, Atar began enriching his technical abilities through learning at Rami Rudich's iron workshop, where

he continues to create daily.The current exhibition presents works from three figurative series dealing with introspection which were grouped under the heading "Insights", and some have already been presented in an exhibition by that title. Alongside these pieces, the exhibition presents two pieces that provide a glimpse into Atar's next exhibition which will deal with forgetfulness, a central theme in his

complete oeuvre."The material with which Atar chooses to work is raw industrial iron that he processes using various techniques. The texture of the material and its processing technique are intuitively decided upon, on the fly, throughout

the execution stage. Processing the iron reconfigures the material, enabling its semantic transformation in terms of the object's relation to its environment - injecting it with additional content and meanings. The work process is an inner journey of liberation and a shift from the internal image to a tangible sculptural object. Work on the different sculptures from the three series was carried out simultaneously. This parallelism is evident in the development of the different series, which correspond with one another - emotionally, figuratively and with regard to the color and texture of the various elements" (Noga Arad-Ayalon, curator of the exhibition INSIGHTS)

The Pilars sculptures series was recently presented in a group exhibition at the Givatayim City Gallery."Atar created a series of iron sculptures moving in upward movement, creating a mythical interpretation to the concept of infinity. Atar uses iron, a hard material taken from the earth, to create an interesting contexture of tower-like models. With his sculptures he asks the viewers to dive into the inner expanses of their souls and continue up up to nonexistence following the line marked by the iron" (Doron Polak, curator, on the exhibition Pilars).In the two new pieces presented in the exhibition and promoting the new future series, one can detect

a sense of movement, sometimes claustrophobic, which raises many questions. In these pieces the absent exceeds the present.Curator: Udi Rosenwein

The lion invited the donkey to visit him: Do me the honor, dear donkey, come and let us together enjoy sitting under the shade of this verdant tree. The donkey replied: Were you a vegetarian I would share the shade of this tree with you, your royal highness. The exhibition ‘Diary of a Donkey’ presents the public discourse on the fascinating and controversial character of the donkey. The donkey evokes varied and contradicting associations, from the high status it holds in the different religions to its use as a derogatory nickname. The conflicting sensations emerging

from its character provide a basis for fascinating and fruitful discussion and for an in-depth introspection by the viewer. The group exhibition consists of both Jewish and Arab artists portraying in painting, drawing and photography the character of the donkey and its role in the Israeli family and society from the 1920s until today.

The exhibition reveals the rich cultural background of references to the donkey, inspired by various sources – from political criticism to literature, religion and history.The character of the donkey undergoes metamorphosis between

the various works according to the individual expression of each artist, as well as in the social-historic context. In Israel of the 1920s, Israeli painters such as Nahum Gutman and Reuven Rubin, among others, discovered the donkey as an oriental ideal which they made Jewish and included in their works and so it became in fact an inherent part of the Israeli scenery. A love story evolved

between Israeli painters and the donkey who symbolized the simple and naïve. In the works of Ammar Younis, Elie Shamir and Rivka Peled, the donkey is part of the family and society, whereas Ashraf Fawakhry uses the donkey – appearing in all his works – to present his views. In the works of Asad Azi, the Messiah is portrayed riding on a donkey.In the words of Gideon Ofrat: “The

last donkeys are disappearing, yet donkeys never die. More and more artists are returning and will return to invoke the donkey, our dearest and devoted friend, whose friendship we doubtfully deserve”.
