My Zaidy (Grandfather)
On loan to the Heller Museum, NYC
Welcome to my artwork.
I am an artist compelled to portray mankind’s senseless hatred of Jews. This hate is always baseless and self-destructive yet it and its physical manifestations counter-intuitively arise in every generation, most recently and violently with the Holocaust and October 7, 2023, Black Saturday.
Jews are mass murdered because they are Jews. Judaism is a crime punishable by death in some cultures even today. Intense emotional sensations ignited by the mass murder of Jews arouse my creativity. I paint this hate and this death. But my paintings are not my final objective. Rather, my goal is to reduce hatred of Jews by evoking intense emotional sensations in others. I want audiences to see, feel, remember, and realize who they are, can be, and become better people for the experience.
This series, “Two Holocausts: One Artist,” is my reaction to this hate and its effect. Some paintings can be deemed grotesque, especially by the naive, the young, and our survivors—exercise caution.
My work is exhibited in Yad Vashem, the World Holocaust Remembrance Center in Jerusalem, Israel, in its Art Museum Research Center. Additional works are requested for its collection.
The Gross-Rosen Muzeum in Rogoznica, Poland, will exhibit this series in a solo show January-April 2026 and has requested a new work commemorating the show.
‘My Zaidy’, see above, will be exhibited in the Heller Museum of Art in NYC, June 2025- July 2026.
The Combat Antisemitism Movement is globally featuring my work.
Other major European, North American, and Israeli institutions and galleries are considering exhibitions.
So welcome, again. Feel free to browse, comment, and purchase if you like. I do this for you. Really. I'm just sharing my visions in the best way I know how. I continue to work, and new paintings will make their appearance from time to time. You're always welcome to visit.
Thank you.
