Portfolio Promotion: In a new exhibition, 59 Ramat Hasharon artists present their interpretation of the color green – as a symbol, as a representative material, as a charged spiritual quality and as a means of expression to arouse emotion and thought. Opening: 18.4
‘And all I wanted was the green. To get away from the sizzling and bloody red around us, and unite like two primary colors: blue and yellow that meet for a common green.’ In the “Green Child” group exhibition, 59 artists from Ramat Hasharon are participating, expressing in a variety of artistic media, an aesthetic-philosophical message about the color green – as a symbol, as a representative material, as a charged spiritual quality and as a means of expression to arouse emotion and thought.
The green contains rest and peace, the green of nature, growth and hope, the green of youth in the grass, the green of the environment, the green of the environment, the green of envy, the green of wealth and the happiness of the heart, the cannabis plant and the khaki, the green of the olive tree, the apple and the fruit, and especially the green of the spring flowers. In it is the pain of Hadom that we are here.

In 1912, the painter Wassily Kandinsky wrote in his essay “On the Spiritual in Art”: “Green is a static color, it has no aftertaste of joy or sadness or excitement, therefore it radiates peace. But he soon became boring. Paintings in green harmony confirm this assumption. Green is the bourgeoisie of the kingdom of colors. Morally, green is very close to gray. Only when the green is heated (in yellow) is it shaken to life and receives active power. When it is cooled (in blue) it receives an active force of a different nature, serious and contemplative, and despite this the original character of indifference and peace is preserved in it.’
And what is your green? The artists in the exhibition say: “For me, the green – the grass was part of the age of innocence,” says Tamar Ben Shaul. “When we dreamed of peace and freedom, equality, love, music. The weed we smoked in our twenties in art school is nothing like the new ‘green’ – weed, which has destructive effects. My pictorial installation consists of five watercolor works on paper that show tracking the process of addiction and destruction following the use of weed, a sophisticated and dangerous poison.’
Ossi Yalon’s painting is reminiscent of a popist painting, with bright colors and vigorous brushstrokes, the artist expresses the joy and freshness of nature, in the mixture of green, pink, blue, yellow and red colors, plants and leaves erupting and flourishing. And here they are, the “planters”, in their green clothes, in a moment they will plant seeds, grow new life in the wild land. But there is no hoe in the hand of the planter, but a weapon of war – a rifle in the hand of a soldier. And above his figure hovers the figure of the mother who sends her sons to battle, the mother who awaits their return, the mother who weeps for their death.
In Efrat Ziv Ben-Aroya’s photograph “Last Minute Rescue” there is an infusion column associated with a hospital, wounds and death in a neutral environment, cut off from time and place, carrying a flower in its full bloom on its humanized palms. The column as a life-saving object and the flower representing life, was cut at the peak of its life.
In the video art work “Blessed the Differentiator”, the artist Talia Ora Yaakov quotes about the artistic production from the album “Where is the place” by the creator Shoshana Hizami: “A little time, a little time, we must separate, until we distinguish, until we differentiate, until we return to see, blessed the differentiator , Yair will restore, clarify, define, only then, the blood will return to the face, we will begin to internalize, we will be able to lift, the head…”

In Anat Ginzburg’s painting, the figure of the girl, Spek directs her gaze at us. Spek is daydreaming, lying comfortably, distant from the viewer and cut off from her familiar surroundings. In the background, a motif of ornamental vegetation, birds and branches, also disconnected from the connection to a specific place, looks like a distant, magical and peaceful destination. The connection between the elements creates a new reality – the girl is assimilated into a world of dreams, nature and fantasy.
In the scene of a forest seagull, in a pale realistic drawing on a wooden bed, we are shown an excruciating human weakness – and that is jealousy. As always, the artist does her best to capture with sensitivity, a moment distilled from a personal and at the same time universal story. And so on the wooden bed “from three comes one”, the figures are assimilated and swallowed, transparent and as if recalling an old memory.
