The Bible in Pictures; A Video Display
Dina Shenhav and Doron Solomons
Dina Shenhav, an artist who works in drawing and sculpture, and video artist, Doron Solomons, are featured here in a joint exhibition, in the framework of a series of exhibits, “The Relationship of a Couple,” in which the artists are a couple, who do not work together on a permanent basis.
The work involves video pieces that reproduce Gustave Dore’s Bible illustrations. Solomons and Shenhav, like many others, were raised on his paintings. In earnest, through these paintings they became familiar with many of the epic scenes from the bible verses. At an age in which censorship prevents the showing of shocking and appalling sights, Dore’s paintings were always a more than satisfying substitute for erotica and fear, all in the name of bible lessons. The pieces were created according to etchings that describe drama and conflict between man and woman.
