It started with superhero movies and comic books.
“I’m a comic book buff,” Meir Tati said, “and I like to watch movies several times, like seven or eight times. I think when you re-watch a movie you can savor all those moments you missed the first few times you watched it.”
It was during one of those repeat viewings of “The Dark Knight” series that the Israeli artist was inspired to create his newest work, “A New Tomorrow That Starts Today,” currently on view as part of the Mattress Factory’s “Factory Installed 2021.”
