Dror Auslander "Lool" Yemenite-Jews

Painter Dror Auslander told me that when he made this series of works about the popular TV parody called “Lool” (hen-house) many of his colleagues tried to stop him, saying that investing in Zionism is a "total loss" since nobody is interested in Zionism any more. Dror didn't listen to them, fortunately.
>In this painting we see famous Israeli singer Arik Einshtein
and famous Israeli film director Uri Zohar (who represent the Yemenite-Jews) mocking the good manners of the German-Jews.
This work is showing now in the Star of David Exhibition in Yavne Gallery, which was opened on the 23 March 2007. Curator: Roni Reuven.

Ronen Siman Tov First Works 1

Picture of a black Star of David inside a three dimentional work is courtesy of Jerusalem artist Ronen Siman-Tov who made it before starting his artistic career. He told me that in his humble opinion this work is more exciting than later "educated works" because it is more energetic and less influenced.
I already published one of Ronen's Star of David works presented in the Star of David in Israeli Art Exhibition, which was opened in Yavne Gallery on the 23 March 2007.
