An exhibition by a dear friend, Shahaf Ben Shaya, a Jewish artist who does modern Jewish art, invited me to be impressed by his exhibition, what do you say? Part 5. (original works by Shahaf Ben Shaya).

Post-Modern Jewish Art Exhibition

תמונה15.jpg

The next painting is called "Kiddush Levana"
This one is my favorite draw from the exhibition.
In all the paintings, the artist "Shahaf Ben Shaya" thought about turning the material into a spirit

I think you can feel it in this painting easily,
You can feel how Orthodox people assimilate in their surroundings and their clothes have become heaven, the water is climbing over them,
You can also see that each of them is as if in his own world, but they are a bunch of people.

In "kiddush levana" there is such a custom of saying hello to one another
One person says hello to another and the other person has to return peace.

In the painting you can see that one of the people makes contact with the other, that is the custom. It is also a very important principle in Judaism. In Judaism you must not be within yourself and be spiritual only. You have to pay attention to what is happening around you and be both spiritual and physical.
There is no logical contradiction in Judaism in this connection between mind and body, between family and children and even sex and learning holy things.
Moreover, the more materialistic it is, the more spiritual his Judaism is considered.

For example, in the Temple in jerusalem

The most holy things were made of the most material material - gold.
The menorah and all the vessels used by the priests were made of gold and precious metals.

The artist noted that although "kiddush levana" was done at night he could have done it on a day (art)
But he chose at night because at night there is more mystery and spirituality to his words.

What do you think?

חתיכת אמנות מעולה.
תודה על השיתוף

great art bro awesome exhibition 😊

איזה כיף שזה ממשיך :)
ממש ניתחת את התמונה טוב - ככה שאין לי הרבה מה להוסיף מעצמי :)
אבל בכל זאת ננסה קצת - העניין עם המים כנראה רומז לעלייה הרוחנית מובן שהשמיים נתפסים כמים - המילה שמים מכילה את המילה "מים" - ואם הם עומדים על המים, הם בדרגה גבוה, הם התעלו מל השמים.
הנקודה המאוד מעניינת היא שהוא צייר אותם ללא פנים - בהלכה היבשה אסור לצייר דמות עם פנים אבל אני מעריך שהוא ניסה לרמוז פה עוד משהו, אולי עוד רמיזה לרוחניות בגלל שנראה שזה שלא רואים את הפנים נובע מכך שהפנים שלהם מאירות באור צהבהב שמזכיר מאוד את אור הלבנה, שכידוע אין לה אור משל עצמה אלא היא מקבלת את האור מהשמש - אולי ניתן להבין פה שהם מחוברים לרוחניות ברמה שהיא מאירה דרכם ומעלה אותם.

Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.

Deep philosophical Art. I must say, Shahaf Ben Shaya is a great artist. Bro @amiramnoam.

Nice art pictures especially this one! DQmZRwUQH59AWhuLV6CQrvuK1NACWpzAwGAgj53kvJJG2ss_1680x8400.png

I always follow all that is related to art, especially painting, museums, or handicapping.

For me, too, night the best time for moreover, to make. Interesting work. I like this style. You were lucky enough to visit this exhibition. Thanks for the report for us.

"Creativity is so delicate a flower that praise tends to make it bloom, while discouragement often nips it in the bud. Any of us will put out more and better ideas if our efforts are appreciated"

The artist must bow to the monster of his own imagination.

have a good day
have a nice day

wauhhh...really wonderful. I just like art. I'm not good in drawing but i'm good in buying artistic materials.

The funny think is that only a single picture reflects the whole story.

Well-done @amiramnoam i wish your friend was on steemit. i could be enjoying his arts each day

I think you can feel it in this painting easily,
You can feel how Orthodox people assimilate in their surroundings and their clothes have become heaven, the water is climbing over them,
You can also see that each of them is as if in his own world, but they are a bunch of people.

Very good

This story is getting better n better bro. You are nailing it and great description provided ;)))

In my opinion
This is
a special picture and has a special meaning for those who understand

my favorite is about the word need to pay attention to around US
I agree on the balance of religion with other important things
for example, overcome the poverty, help people in need, preserve the nature, build Brotherhood and other
thank you, your post added my knowledge

Vote me

amazing post and art very nice....now i am follow you. sir....love it

wow really amazing paint

Love it. Love seeing Jewish themed art. So little being generated these days.

Great artwork!

Being Jewish myself, this piece really grabbed me! I am not very religious, my whole family is reform. So sometimes I feel Orthodox Jews are almost another religion entirely but this reminded me of the common connection we have. Also the aesthetics are very modern yet speak volumes about the religion!
