PASSAGE GALLERY
Naama Aaronson | Lives and works in Jerusalem.Since 1995, she has created sculpture mainly from Papier Maché, and participated in many group and individual exhibitions. Naama: "People fascinate me. Living with them, living next to them, I watch them intently, I explore their looks, I try to uncover their identity. The people I create are part of everyday life, flashes of exprerience, memories, visions, dreams. They live on the borderline between precise imitation of reality and the anonymyty of imagination. They are characters mentally carved, lingering in memory for a long while – until they turn into sculpture. In their final form, the sculptures represent a long process of observation and learning. Built from net molds wrapped with many layers of newspaper sheets soaked in glue, they remain unpainted. The coloring of the sculptures is achieved by applying colored paper as a last, outermost layer. "I use paper, which, in its original usage, is a basic material, very simple, soft, easily available, expendable. In the process of work, it turns hard and durable, and it allows the creation of my art". "Cinema" is made of: net, newspaper, colored paper, glue and polish studio: 9 Leib Yaffe St. Talpiyot, Jerusalem mobile:052-8785328 E-mail: namason@gmail.com | |

MODERN HALL
Amnon Tishler | A Window, in its everyday meaning, is an opening in a wall through which air and light come in and we can see the outside and so on. We cannot imagine a room or a space without an opening, because it will remind us of a tomb. The windows presented in these art pieces are using these meanings, but the artist turns the viewers to look simultaneously both inside out and vice versa. The series has four prints: two engravings on plastic moulds, and two of etchings on iron printing moulds. Engraving work is just like a painting. The fact that the artist is using organic and synthetic materials – during a process extending a few years is also making a statement by itself, on the artist's world. Amnon Tishler works and learns the language of art in the past fifteen years, while working in his home and participating in leading workshops specializing in engraving paintings. His various artworks have been displayed in various galleries in Israel and abroad.

Anat Hulata | Anat Hulata was born in Jerusalem in 1974. She is a member of the urban Kibbutz ‘Tamuz’ in Beit-Shemesh. She is mother to Ya’ir and Tehilla, and spouse of Yiftach. After a career at the State Advocacy, she has dedicated recent years to art and teaching art (“Sadna Ba'kfar”). Anat creates a dense art. She creates texts, both written and photographed, and sometimes combines them. She touches variegated colors and materials. Anat’s art is archaeology and a future telling: she uncovers layers, searching for clues in the present to what was, to what will be. She searches for the balancing point and the point of unbalance, a lever to lift life. At the height of blossoming, Anat deals with questions of withering, but also engages in a search after seeds and seedlings. She sees beauty in a dry fruit, in what it was – in what it will be. An Israeli and Jewish art despite today, in spite of it all. She is not detached of our anxiety regarding the here and now, but is open to life – to all of life. This is why I believe her.
