Jerusalem / at The Shechter Institute, Jerusalem, 2018 Curator: Shira Mushkin For generations, Jerusalem has been a focal
point for the Jewish people. It is the center of Jewish life, faith, hope,
history, and consciousness. Jerusalem holds a particular significance for
Greenfield, who moved to Ein Kerem, Jerusalem over fifty years ago, after
living on a kibbutz. Greenfield is a Jerusalem artist, and he remarks: “Living
and working in Jerusalem is a special journey for me. My works are visionary
landscapes, which are reconstructions of Jerusalem, not always relating to
specific sites.” The artist has always been intrigued by the historical and
dynamic nature of the city, as he constantly explores his own connection to the
traditional and spiritual forms of Judaism. Greenfield’s art is linked to
Jewish and Israeli history and symbols, such as the Hebrew letters, Jewish
amulets, and the Ten Sephirot (emanations), containing aesthetic qualities of
the material and the spiritual.
Working in a distinctive modernist method, Greenfield’s artwork lends itself to rich possibilities of expression. The exhibition Yitzhak Greenfield: Exploring Jerusalem comprises three main series from the artist’s career, which span over the course of many years and continue to this day; Jerusalem Visions, Jerusalem Assemblages, and Landscape and Meditation on the Hebrew Letter. These artworks portray timeless dream-landscapes of Jerusalem. The hidden secrets of the city are locked away in assemblage constructions, and prints depicting Hebrew letters illuminate into mystical meanings. The spectator travels along with Greenfield through his creations, exploring Jerusalem and experiencing a spiritual and living Judaism, in which the artist constantly searches for the expression of his cultural and spiritual legacy as he reconstructs Jerusalem.
