Chasidim
By Artist Benjamin Shiff25 cm x 35 cm
This group of Chasidim have incorporated the music of Jerusalem deep inside themselves.
Benjamin lives and works in Israel, where he produces his fine art prints in Kiryat Ono. Each print is numbered and signed by the him. This is a fine offset print on off-white fine art paper. The print is centered on, and bordered by, the paper. The border does not show in the example. This print is unframed.
Benjamin Shiff s distinctive style is a blend of realistic figures and a touch of cubism. His figures are drawn from a profound knowledge of human form and its emotional potential, and are examined through a metaphysical prism. The subjects seem to search for comfort and refuge, and possess a kind of lyrical melancholy. They have a translucent quality, an illusion of an inner light. They express the artist s quest to resolve the conflict between an often cruel reality and his innate idealism. Shiff s portrayal of women in general and mothers in particular, explores their softness, tenderness and mystery. His other subjects evoke mysticism and spiritual longing that reaches beyond the visual enjoyment of the observer.
