Together Art Connects
Contemporary Israeli Art
4-16 July 2022
Private View: Tuesday 5 July 6-9pm
Admission free

After a difficult period when cultural activity almost came to a halt, the world finally seems to be on its way back to normal. I wholeheartedly hope we now understand that we’re all one large family, and that we must learn to live together.

This exhibition is a social-cultural encounter between the public, artists and works representing Israeli creative culture as part of global culture, regardless of gender, race or religion. Since art is a human creative tool it connects and unifies, allowing cooperation and mutual inspiration. Art is a space that enables acceptance of the other, stemming from awareness and understanding, the result of familiarity and partnership in the creation of a study process focusing on how we can live together, each individual being simultaneously unique and part of a group. We must learn from the different colors, blending in the same space, supporting, accepting and containing each other, especially those who are different.

This exhibition brings together a diverse, unique collection of artists that represent Israeli culture through their work, invoking human creative spirit in Israeli and global culture.

As a curator, partner and art director, and even more so as a human, I believe that art connects humans and brings hearts closer, awakening our human creativeness, without regard to gender, race or religion.

ARTISTS FOR PEACE – STOP THE WAR!
19-24 July 2022
Private View: Tuesday 19 July 6:30pm

Following huge success in Sao Paulo, the unique Art, Literature, and Music exhibition “Artists for Peace - Stop the War!” is now coming to London! It invites new participants into this movement for peace, by way of unity and solidarity.
 
"Finding Peace. There are dark shadows on the earth, but its lights are stronger in the contrast.” -The Pickwick Papers - Charles Dickens

Artshout! A movement for peace because lights on the earth are stronger!

In the midst of uncertainty, we find peace and inspiration in the drawings of a young artist with learning difficulties, in the creativity of older people, in the portraits of a French painter, in the words of a Brazilian writer, or in the sounds of a young musician.

Difference does not separate, it enriches and brings us together.

With a  selection of more than 20 extraordinary artists in a movement for Peace; Artshout celebrates difference, showcasing the power and beauty which come from vulnerability and hope. The  power of Art has always been and continues to be, a driving force for awareness, healing, resilience and change!

Talks and workshops will invite us to reflect and engage with this movement.
Part of the proceeds of the exhibition will be donated to the Red Cross and a Charity for Ukrainian refugees. A number of our artists have directly donated their artwork to help refugees  from Ukraine.  
 
The ArtShout project was born during the centenary commemoration of Modern Art Week (1922-2022) in São Paulo this year. It became obvious that the many artistic movements, in the visual arts and in Literature at home and abroad, in the early decades of the 20th century were indicative of a strong yearning for FREEDOM.

This was also a time of great violence and upheaval, signified chiefly by World War One; the 1929 economic crash, labour strikes, women’s suffrage protests, and the first great pandemic (Spanish flu).

During that worldwide turmoil, artists from the visual to the literary conveyed their call for independence from pre-established models. New aesthetic movements, breaking with the classical vision, came into being to reflect the emerging realities, cultural differences and alternative ways of thinking.

It is not difficult to recognise, that currently there are similar worldwide challenges. Humanity is continually conflicted in different forms; new wars, massive increases in poverty and inequality, environmental issues and discrimination on a plethora of different issues.

Today in 2022 in the midst of various crises, we were at its outset and sadly continue to be, profoundly touched by the war in Ukraine and, made our first call for peace in Brazil.
