What happens to artistic creation when war becomes a
?prolonged reality—at home, at the front, and in between
Beit Avi Chai’s exhibition brings together works by five
notable Jerusalem-based artists, created over two turbulent
years, from the massacre and surprise attack on Israel on
Simchat Torah 5784 through the ceasefire on the eve of
Simchat Torah 5786. These were two Israeli years whose
events, in any other country, might have filled decades
of history—events that met artistic practice in different
ways: directly or indirectly, explicitly or abstractly. Executed
in diverse media—painting, drawing, photography, and
print—the works offer a window into the artistic workshop:
instinctive responses that investigate and probe, registering
moods and emotions that breached the protected space of
the studio and fractured it.
