Yona Levy Grosman Gallery - גלריה של יונה לוי-גרוסמן

"My Place" - Exhibition at the Entrance Gallery at the Masada National Park.
4.12.2007 – 5.04.2008

My mother was blond, Eyes like smoke, Succeeded in surviving In a godless Europe. My father had two sisters, like daughters of Shem, Black hair, Almond eyes to see the world. And now Almond blossoms cover my grandfather’s land, among Red carpets of anemone covering the earth – The grain rose as high As my girls’ necks. A sigh Bursts from my throat Unchecked When gold touches gold Between lands' black haired sons of Shem. Maybe this time justice will stand Firm And have its way.
My Place An exhibition of the paintings and poetry by artist Yona Levy-Grosman Artistic Advisor, Rafi Barbibai My artwork draws its inspiration from my love of the Land of Israel as well as from many other areas of knowledge such as philosophy, history, science, Jewish philosophy and Kabala. For me these constitute the source of ideas and a way of seeing and understanding reality. I often contemplated how and what to exhibit here, in this place. I stand at the foot of Massada overwhelmed by the splendor of this place, the magnificence of the landscape, the glory of ancient cultures and the riveting history of my people drawing me to them. What more can I add? What sound, utterance or word could I possibly add to the power of the silence that shrouds this place with such force, so that my words will be heard? Finally I understood, all I can do in this exhibition is to tell you about myself through my paintings and poetry. As part of the exhibition I will show you the books which became the milestones and ideas that never let me be. At the heart of the exhibition are my poems. Why poems? The poems and paintings complement one another. Poetry is our conscience secrets, the seeds of thought, focused and condensed, and even the layout of this exhibition is reminiscent of the classic structure of poetry. Thus, with the help of both the paintings and the poetry, I will be an open book before you. I hope that you will enjoy it and that something of what you see here before you will remain with you always.                                       Yona Levy-Grosman From, 4.12.07 – 5.04.08 The exhibition will be held, at the Entrance Gallery at the Masada National Park. contact - Yona Levy-Grosman Tel:-     +972-8-9982212.
