Artist Itzik Mevorah lost his father at the age of eleven — a soldier who died from wounds sustained in war. From that moment, he understood he was meant to be an artist. He began sculpting and creating, work always somehow dedicated to his father, to loss, to survival. His studio is a bomb shelter south of Tel Aviv — a space that gives him isolation and grounds his work in something real. The recurring fly in his neo-pop paintings symbolises survival in the harshest conditions. He paints it in bright, joyful colours — a deliberate choice to bring light to difficult subjects, to make life more vivid and more worth living.
A quiet note when a new film is released. Nothing else.
