Nurse 1

This is the first image of a series that got Rafael Fuchs "The Rosa Merkin" award upon graduating from "Bezalel" Art Academy in Jerusalem.The artist is not aware of the Nurse in his environment, that would attempt to stir him away from his interaction with a projected image; from his world of fantasy and indulgence.The Nurse, who is dressed up in a way that could easily meet the artist's level of fantasy, is communicating with the viewer, and creating another layer of interaction and fantasy.

Self Portrait with Flower Girls/ After Picasso's "Las Manitas"

Self Portrait with Flower Girls/ After Picasso's "Las Manitas"

This a selp-portrait I did while being a student .I used the menniquen as a stand-in, and it also interprets my concept of an artist being a non-human, passive, voyer, observer, non-participant in the organic course of life(even amputated), but still, get honors (flowers) for his contribution.I was attending a class, at the time,about Picasso (led by the curator Moti Omer), and was inspired by the version of Picasso to the painting "Las Manitas" ( English: The Maids of Honour) of , originally, Velasquez.(1656)In his version, Picasso enlarges and enhances the figure on the left, who is the artist himself.It's obvious, that it gives the artist a more significant role than the Royal daughter herself, who is "supposed" to be the subject of the painting.

Sit-Up 1

The first time that I saw a naked woman while I was an adolescence was from my classmate's (Yoram Mozes) appartment. His window was facing a boarding house for Israeli female soldiers (in tel Aviv) , and I saw a naked young woman doing sit-ups on her bed , before going to sleep.This was one of my inspirations for that series of tableaux.This series that I did as a student echoes that experience, as well, is a visual translation to my thoughts, that men have to workout, in order to be attarctive.
