A Silent Dialog
Between polar archetypes:
Classicism and Contemporary Art,
Religious iconography and Realism,
The Metaphysical and the Secular,
Transfiguration and Nihilism,
Splendor and Decay,
Salvation and Despair,
Meditation and Seclusion,
Hedonism and the ascetic,
The instinctive and the Spiritual,
The cozy and the agitated…

Drawing of the particular Mother

Becoming acquainted with Death?

An allegory of both carnal Love and Spiritual Detachment?

Death as it IS

Within turbulent times?

About Dr. Dorit Kedar

Forced to continuously change nations, cultures and schooling - I had to develop a wider sense of communication, a way of thinking-feeling-behaving which stresses the common denominators. The need to adapt new landscapes and land-souls has taught instinctive means to overcome separatism, prejudices, dogmatic beliefs and suspicions. While looking for the common gathering denominators, I have also increased the ability of perception and individuation. Being constantly in estranged places has triggered psychological processes to turn the unfamiliar into familiar. As an art critic in the Israeli press, a curator, a writer - have always dealt with the otherness, the different and the infinite variety of the Existent. My Book of Peace is the result.
