PAST EXHIBITION
Eran Wolkowski: Country Sides
May 5, 2008—November 11, 2008
Roads in the works of Eran Wolkowski are like any other road. They are
anonymous and lack identity. It is the same gray/black strip
everywhere. Only the scenery on the sides of the road connects them to
a place and a time. The roads are in Israel. In fact, more in the Land
of Israel than the State of Israel. But there is no political statement
in the works, which the difference may necessitate, except a call to
the viewer to reach his own conclusions. Eran Wolkowksi does not preach
nor does he seek to prove something; he lets the scenery speak for
itself, free of nostalgia and politics. Nonetheless, there is something
unsettled about the scenery, an imaginary calm. A restlessness that
originates in a hidden dissonance that blends the longing and despair
inherent in the biography of the artist.
