Last few days to see Oren Fischer: HALLEL

Fischer’s etchings, made while in residence at the Gottesman Etching Center, present scenes real and imagined, with subjects ranging from the story of Adam and Eve to the artist’s self-portrait. His work bridges the gap between history and present-day, illustrating a vision of contemporary life, identity, and society that is an embodiment of all that came before and a hope for a brighter future.

We are excited to announce Manuela Caicedo’s first solo exhibition Asistente de Morfeo, on view from September 10th to October 24th. Please join us for a reception on Thursday, September 10th from 6-8pm 🥂✨

Caicedo’s work hovers in the space between night and day, between looking and seeing. Classical oil painting is applied with the freedom of dreaming; imagination becomes ethereal image in transparent washes, luminous glazes, and fiery hues. Bridging intuition with philosophy, mythology, and art history, Caicedo’s paintings merge inner and outer worlds, appearing in various states of clarity or blissful confusion.

Stripes, vibrant colors, and rich symbolism are a through-line across Oren Fischer’s work, as is the marriage of past with present and pain with joy. These elements emerge in the artist’s A Bird on Cypress paintings, however through a more intuitive process than the narrative canvases. The paintings are cut and mounted to wood, exposing black voids beneath the colorful surface. The title references a children’s song about dancing around a cypress, the tree grown in cemeteries. Lyrics from the song appear in speech bubbles among many other symbols, such as children for fertility and fish for protection against the evil eye.

Several bodies of work are presented in Hallel, representing the breadth of Oren Fischer’s multidisciplinary practice and his fluid approach to the making and recontextualization of art objects, installation, and performance. The large-scale draped canvases were originally created as an immersive set for a performance presented in Israel, complete with actors dressed in the artist’s handmade galabiyas. The 14 canvases, six of which are displayed in the gallery, form a temple where ancient history, contemporary reality, and secular spirituality meet.
