Curator's statement: exerpt

"On The Other Side" -- which somehow relates to the fact that the viewer looks at the work from a different point as we, the artists do. That, despite the obvious adoption of the language, both verbal and visual, we come from different origins, not just of birth, but of thought and sensibility. That despite the fact that the Western culture seems predominant in our work's formal execution and we all relate very strongly to icons of that culture, we remain distant to historical background of American art, rather selecting from it universal elements, than embracing it all. And the fact that most of us are inspired in one way or another by nature, be it landscape or its objects, human body or animal species, we channel these inspirations through personal and intimate experiences, common, and at the same time unique to all. And that aspect of "the other side", where the viewer and the artist stay separated, is daunting and challenging yet universal. The fact that we come from different backgrounds and operate in alien environments only amplifies the way that separation manifests itself.
