Blessings and curses; blessings: Eliyahu Fatal

"Blessings" is the first chapter (as the name suggests) of a larger exhibition. It deals with two distinctly marked spaces: East and West. In both its parts, it speaks in a polyphonic voice: it surrenders itself and oozes affection – while at the same time insulting the intimate immediacy of the "act of painting", shredding its individuality and originality. In both spaces it is an innocent, elaborate, and playful painting technique; on the “west”, oil paintings were photographed, processed via Photoshop, and printed on canvas which was painted again in gouache. On the “east”, computerized collages inspired by greeting cards were processed digitally, printed on canvas, and painted in oil paints.
