Wilfrid Isreal Museum of Oriental Art and Studies
Kibbutz Hazorea, ,

In this exhibition the artist deals with Synthetic Realism - a handy label that expresses the nature of an art that is not abstract or concrete nor surreal but is
involved in the use of sometimes extreme metaphor used in the poetic sense as being specific as a new creation in itself
with reference to the deep experience of the real. Thus in artistic terms to make a synthesis an exchange of the real to
metaphor to synthesis of a whole. - Knox Martin
