I first came upon Brothers of Light’s winsome, witty aesthetic on the streets of Jerusalem several years ago. I was an instant fan. Currently on view at 30 Yefet Street — a stately, atmospheric building in Jaffa — is From Dirt, a delightfully intriguing exhibition featuring dozens of artworks fashioned this past year from metals found outside the brothers’ studio space. Featured above is Crossing the Bridge — fabricated with industrial paint on salvaged metal. Several more images I captured while visiting the exhibition earlier this week follow:
“Everything Is Temporary,” Industrial paint on found metal
“No Pain No Gain” and “Cuchara” to its left, Industrial paint on found metal kitchen utensils
“What Do You Eat?” Industrial paint on found metal kitchen utensil
“Time Sinking,” Industrial paint on found metal
“Suddenly,” Industrial paint on found metal
“Throwback,” Industrial paint on found metal
Segment of exhibition largely featuring small works–
Produced by Brothers of Light — real-life siblings, Elna and Gab — and curated by Hadas Glazer, From Dirt is at once environmentally conscious and aesthetically engaging. It continues through Saturday evening with a closing party beginning at 6pm. A short film by Amalia Zilbershatz-Banay and Dan Deutsch accompanies the exhibition.
