NECHAMA LEVENDEL AND NADAV BLOCH
Israeli artists, Nechama Lavendel and Nadav Bloch live
and create their work in the artist village of Ein Hod.
Located at the foot of the Carmel Mountains, Ein Hod
was begun in 1953 by Marcel Janco, one of the founders
of DADAism, the post World War I artistic protest movement.
Heavily influenced by their physical surroundings in
the creation of their art, Levendel and Bloch over the
past few years have begun to search for new sources
of inspiration and enrichment. Their travels have enabled
them to confront the creative process against a wide
variety of visual and human landscapes and a diversity
of light and colors.
By exposing themselves to different communities, Nechama
and Nadav have expanded their understanding and belief
in the universal language of art. Their work reflects
a constant attempt to understand and find meaning for
our existence within the universe. For them, encountering
in their journeys endless fractions of this truth has
led to a desire to use their art to search for new meanings
and new explanations of the world they discover. Their
art provides them with constantly evolving ways to interact
with this search. At the same time, they are continually
influenced by their growing knowledge that the interrelationships
that create the universe are without finite answers.
These insights have led them in some of their recent
works to confront various social issues that connect
our past to the present. To commemorate the anniversary
of Pope John Paul II' asking of forgiveness for sins
committed by the Catholic Church against humanity they
created "Power of Forgiveness." This sculpture
had its opening in March, 2001 at the Vila Picolomini
in Rome, and was subsequently shown in Dusseldorf, Germany.
It is based on the ancient biblical ritual of the scapegoat
- of the need of the community for forgiveness in order
to continue mankind's existence and to preserve society's
social values.
Currently, Bloch and Levendel have been commissioned
to create a work entitled "The Right to Anchor"
- a world wide photographic project that explores the
symbolic role of the anchor in a universe of changing
and conflicting realities. In a world of societal and
individual conflict they are exploring their belief
in a set of rules of social behavior that can be universally
accepted. The artists believe that each person, regardless
of origin, has a right to personal freedom while simultaneously
preserving human values that respect the rights and
freedoms of others. Each of us can "caste our anchor"
in that physical and emotional place that best answers
each individual's search for truth. This project is
scheduled for its opening exhibition in May of 2003
at the Naval and Clandestine Museum, Haifa, Israel.
Nechama Levendel was born in Israel to a Yeminite mother
and a Belgian father, who came to Israel as a volunteer
to serve in the Israeli Army during its 1948 War of
Independence. Nadav Bloch was born in Israel to parents
who emigrated from Latvia after World War I.
