Landscape

Michael Kerzner was born in Ukraine in 1964. His father, Wolf Kerzner is a well known painter.

In 1982 he graduated from the Ukraine Republic Art School and in the same year he was accepted into the Kiev High Academy of Art from which he graduated with honors.
In 1986 he joined a group of dissident artists who created and exhibited all over Europe.

He has been inspired by the landscapes and lavish sun and light of Israel as compared to the dark palette he used in Russia. The dazzling local light which is so hard on the eyes of all newcomers from Eastern Europe has taken on a hue that blends and balances among the delicate sensitive brush stroke on the paper. That light, which vitiated the influences of local scenes is the challenge, the object to be confronted and it also determines the content and the hue and the grid and the final message.

That light and the touch are what endow his paintings with an optimistic tone, but they are also what spatters them with soulful hints of other feelings.

LUBA SHAMANOVA

Luba was born in Maginov, the capital city of Belarus.

Between the years 1982-1985, Luba attended the Minsk Institute of Art in Belarouse.

In Mogilov, Belarouse, she specialized in landscape and impressionist artworks .

In 1990, Luba immigrated to Israel and is currently living in Haifa with her husband and 2 children.

Luba’s works are unique in the structure of the color which is raised above the canvas. This is the effect of working with colors mixed with sand, with plaster and coarse paintbrushes.

In the Land of Israel there is something special about the sunlight and the local scale of colors and these Luba understands and captures in her paintings. The subjects are hinted at rather than explicit, but some details are nevertheless clearly presented. Luba stimulates our imagination but does not tell the story from A to Z. This is art which does not preach but gets to the heart of the matter by way of allusions.
