Some combinations are experienced so intensely that we wonder how no one ever thought of them before. Such is the exhilarating and yet so-natural combination of the works of artists Anisa Ashkar and Moshe Gershuni. Curator Orit Mor mulled over this idea for a long time until she forged an asset that exceeds all expectations.
Ashkar, a female Muslim, and Gershuni (1936-2017), a male Jew famous in part for his works that include homoeroticism, ostensibly belong to different worlds, identities and generations. But in both their inner landscapes they bloom in black or colorful blossoms, expressing a pain that’s different yet shared.
