| Summary: | The existential oeuvre of Moshe Gershuni (* 1936 in Tel Aviv) spans a period of over forty years. Uncompromising and evocative, his prolific production of paintings, drawings, and sculptures has an unmediated quality that is reflected in his working method. Spreading sheets of paper on the ground, he crawls over them, with his bare hands immersed in paint like blood-dripping wounds. Many paintings include historically loaded symbols and handwritten Hebrew passages from Jewish prayers, which turn the bumpy, overflowing surfaces of paint-his seemingly involuntary, pre-lingual compositions-into a living theatrical performance, a frenzied ritual. Sensual and conceptual, emotional and critical, authentic and well-staged, his works transcend oppositions, infusing historical commemoration with the cathartic immediacy of the painterly act.
