  • The contrast between policeman and hooligan, between father and son, reverberates through the piece. At the base of the triptych, fragments of a police baton tangle with a stadium fence. Gate II reflects on these parallel paths: two inseparable lives, frozen in a moment of conflict yet still somehow symmetrical, like two branches balancing the weight of the family tree.

  • Oren Pinhassi

  • Oren Pinhassi, Public Figure - II, 2024

    Oren Pinhassi

    Public Figure - II, 2024 Steel, sand, burlap, polymer and rock
    214.6 x 69.8 x 63.5 cm (sculpture)
    84 1/2 x 27 1/2 x 25 in
  • Sand gives the surface a desirable and repulsive finish: begging for touch, the coarse outer layers would unforgivingly chafe the rubbing hand. The artist builds its case on this duality of the immediate and the suggested. Harsh skin and airy sand blend with rough fantasies and demure bearings.

  • For decades, artists such as Holley—self-taught and working at a distance from the major art centers (and, until fairly recently, outside the mainstream gallery system)—have largely been sidelined or ignored. Yet the neglect of these works belies their quiet power.

  • They are about the rise and fall of civilisations, as well as the romantic language of still-life painting: futile materialism and fragile mortality reflected by the transient beauty of flowers.

    Disagreement 30, 2025 Acrylic on canvas

    80 x 70 cm
    31 1/2 x 27 1/2 in
  • My works take up the topic of human relationships at various scales. From the personal scale in close relationships, through functioning in societies, to the relations between citizens and those in power. I believe that all of them are based on the same principles, and that unknowingly we can enter the same type of a relationship at all of these levels.

  • By employing his own private photo archive again and again, Lehner’s works create a strong and simultaneously sensitive tension between technical and cognitive processes, and the deeply personal struggle of grasping one’s own past.

  • Sheida Soleimani

    Sheida Soleimani

    Affinity, 2024 Archival pigment print
    101.6 x 76.2 cm
    40 x 30 in
  • Soleimani’s works artfully spin a traumatic history and personal losses into a kind of visual poetry that’s thoughtful, mysterious and captivating. And they are odes to her parents as well, in a body of work that celebrates rather than criticizes the family that shaped her.
