Danielle Faigenbaum - The Rest is Silence
April 15th-May 9th | Opening April 15th
Ms. Faigenbaum approaches photography from both an intellectual and emotional perspective that conveys her true passion for her work. Combining both methods of staged and documentary photography, her work is extremely sensitive and deals very profoundly with human relations and emotions such as pain, loneliness, fear and love, with maturity and subtleties that are quite rare.

Asaf Matarasso - Order/Mess
March 4 - 28 | Opening March 4th
In his work "order\mess" Matarasso is playing with the contrast and harmony between chaos and order in our every day to day life, drawing the lines that connect the two opposites, trying to remind us how controversial a single second can be.
The project is divided into pairs that complete and emphasize each other visually and idealistically, showing well organized chaos and schematic patterns dipped in madness.
Matarasso has had exhibitions mainly in Paris and Israel, this is his first show in the States.

March 4 - 28 | Opening March 4th

Paintings by Ma’ayan - Zalman’s Suite
Jan 7 - Feb 7 | Opening Reception Thursday, January 7, 6-9 pm
“In searching for a truth, I do not try to depict the real, for details are not so important to me. Instead I seek to find [expose] the light source from within; in doing so I create an intimate, sensory experience, one that captures the spirit of the subject. I invent a place where the eye and the imagination can wander, finding truth in the balance between what is necessary and what is left to the imagination. I isolate beauty.”
‘Zalman’s Suite’ is a convergence of the beauty and depth of Ma’ayan’s 12-year spiritual journey and a celebration of her father Zalman’s passion for life that she has sought to put on canvas. Moving towards an abstract expressionist style, Ma’ayan has pushed the bold, vibrant brushstrokes and varied opacity of paint that is intrinsic to her work to exciting new depths and dimensionality.

Philip Shalam - WRONG SIDE UP
Nov 12 - Dec 10 | Opening Reception 6-9 PM
A suite of staircases shot from a variety of viewpoints from contoured underbelly to rigid profile. Then displayed upside down. The surprising inversion strips the stairway of hackneyed metaphor or narrative conceit. An unbiased and unsentimental vision of color and rhythm and form. Once again, this exciting young artist's singularly witty distortion presents the unique perspective that made his first collaboration with us such an acclaimed success.

Tiggy Ticehurst
July 23rd
Most people who pass Tiggy's stall, smile, because humor is certainly an important feature of his world. That humor, however, is only one manifestation of a deeper social commentary expressed through figurative shapes and bright colors. The irony as well as the significance is embedded in his titles. Tiggy Ticehurst came to art quite late in life.
For private viewing please call Luna Pariente at 917.834.3915.
Lily Hoyda
June 25th-July 21st
Lily Hoyda was born on September 9, 1989, in Great Neck, NY. She attended Great Neck schools and graduated in June, 2007, from John L. Miller North High School. She demonstrated an affinity for drawing and sketching at a very early age, as early as pre-nursery school. Although her earlier interest in art was greatly influenced by Japanese animation, her style is constantly evolving and maturing as she experiences different media and subject matter.
For private viewing please call Luna Pariente at 917.834.3915.
Chana Rosa Petrikovsky
June 25th-July 21st
Chana Rosa Petrikovsky is a young artist whose painting talent began to emerge at the precocious age of one when she started drawing profiles of birds. Born in 1991 into a Jewish orthodox home to a father who is a physician and a mother who is an artist and singer, she was homeschooled until the age of six in a household where Jewish traditions are highly respected. During this time, a love of drawing was instilled in her, as her mother would often depict the subject matter being taught by drawing images. Chana Rosa’s talent is eclectic, depicting a variety of themes using different materials including acrylic, oil pastels, charcoal, watercolors, oil paints, and gouache. She exhibited her artwork several times in local galleries. Chana Rosa has a strong artistic sense and a yearning for spirituality which expressed itself in the luminous images of her childhood work. And now, as a young adult, her art reflects a quest for authenticity and is shaped by an awareness of the absurdity of a confused world and the desire to break through its walls towards a higher consciousness.

Aaron Siskind
Opening: April 23rd
Aaron Siskind is one of the greatest photographer-artists in history, but he was also a Jew from New York City. Immigrating from Russia in the 1890’s, his parents settled in the Lower East Side. His father was a tailor and his mother kept house for their five children (cooking with two sets of pots, one for meat, one for dairy.) Born in 1903, Aaron lived in New York until 1951. Among his friends were Mark Rothko, Franz Kline, Barnett Newman, Willem de Kooning; his art was contemporary to them, his abstract style in some cases pre-dating theirs. He was not a religious Jew, but in later life he often expressed the wish to have an exhibition in Israel so that he could travel there, but such an exhibition never occurred. This present exhibition, comprised of pictures taken in New York, is the first exhibition of Aaron’s work ever shown in a synagogue. It is, of course, fitting that such a synagogue exhibition be in New York.

DANIEL WEINSTEIN
July 19th 6:00-8:00PM
Surfboards & Palms
The universe depicted on canvas by the artist Daniel Weinstein is composed of intense colors and dynamic images.
The artist's work has been inspired by such disparate elements as Tehillim (Pslams) & Kohelet (Ecclesiastes), Tsfat and South Beach, Chassidism & Dr. Suess, Baruch Nachshon, Picasso, Bob Marley, The Big Lebowski, Shlomo Carlebach & Alice in Chains.
Daniel Weinstein's art pulsates with the most pleasant contradictions. It is whimsical and fanciful yet poignant. It is traditional - conveying unchanging centuries old judaic
themes, yet entirely modern and reflective of a dizzyingly fast
paces technological age. These lyrical contradictions collide to
create a vibrant, electrifying universe where intense beauty,
harmony and spirituality reign.
For private viewing, please call 917.834.3915
AVI MEIR
June 19th 6:00-8:00PM
Veshavu Banim Le’Gvulam
Veshavu Banim Le’Gvulam is an action of
returning to responsibility. It reminds us that the spirit of
unity always rests in our soul. The idea of Veshavu Banim
Le'Gvulam was inspired from a reaction to many events affecting
society in Israel, most notably acts of terrorism and bloodshed.
Avi Meier, a native of Israel, sculpts steel, iron, wood, stone
and glass.
YITZCHOK MOULLY
April 3rd 6:00-8:00PM
Exhibition Through April 29th YITZCHOK MOULLY
Although influenced by many sources, Moully, who
might be better known by some people as the youth director at
the Chabad Jewish Center in Basking Ridge, N.J., prefers the
silkscreen medium and use of every-day objects that defined
American pop art in the 1960s. ArtisZen owner Brian Hanck
compared Moully's technique to that of Andy Warhol, but whereas
the iconic artist featured cans of soup and pictures of famous
people, Moully relies on images from Chasidic Jewish culture:
His work displays Chanukah dreidels, kiddush cups, rabbis
praying and Chasidim dancing.
RON ALON COHEN
March 6th 6:00-8:00PM RON ALON COHEN
Born in Haifa in 1957. Ron studied at Bezalel and was influenced by the old Bezalel art of its founders - the opposite of the usual modern artistic trend. At the age of 20 he became religious and at 30 moved to Safed. The landscapes that are seen in his pictures arouse longings for the beautiful and holy Biblical land of Israel...
ANTHONY BEHAR
February 7th 6:00-8:00PM ANTHONY BEHAR
Photojournalist Anthony Behar has traveled the world, from documenting the recovery efforts in South East Asia of Tsunamic survivors, to the lives of emigrant families coming to America.
