Photo exhibition by Israeli artists in New Delhi



New Delhi: The Embassy of Israel in India, in collaboration with ONKAF Gallery, is organizing an exhibition by Israeli artists Maya Gelfman and Roie Avidan. Titled ‘Bodies of Work’, this exhibition will be on view till March 3. 

The exhibition presents a series of photographs and is part of ‘Mind the Heart! Project’, a worldwide art project established in 2009 by the two artists. In the past decade, the project has reached more than 100 cities in different countries including India.

Ambassador of Israel to India Naor Gilon said, “It gives us great pleasure to present this unique exhibition in India, which has been produced by two young Israeli artists who travel around the world. It's also special as it comes on the occasion of both countries celebrating the completion of 30 years of full diplomatic relations.”

The artists told Samiksha Bharti News Service, “We are delighted to be back in New Delhi, to finally realize an artistic dream that started three years ago, with ONKAF Gallery.”

Sharad Chauhan, Director at ONKAF Gallery said, “Artists works can be viewed as markers of a specific time and space in a societal framework. A lot of thought has gone into the pictures, in the making of the overall expressiveness that conveys the content in the best way for further understanding of daily lives. As a reflection of their state of mind, a demarcation between one’s interior and exterior self becomes visible in the works of this exhibition, raising questions on the structure of our daily existence in the changing world around us.”
