Jan Rauchwerger “Har-Zion corner of Chachmei Israel”, Zemack Contemporary Art Gallery, May – June 2013, Tel Aviv

 

 

 

The corner of Har-Tzion Avenue and Hachamei Israel Street

 

A crossroads, with imposing patriotic street names.

Walking the dog.

A banality, there is basically no landscape here.

But there is a life, in all its manifestations.

Where will the spirituality come from?

The spirituality, if indeed it comes, will derive from painting,

from the creative process.

From nowhere at all – it is best not to think about it.

If thinking, then after work.

To read, watch and talk with old friends –

great artists, poets and philosophers.

It is what contains the joy of life for me now.

And also Galit, children and granddaughters.

And all this is happening to me!
