Shahar Marcus: "Going, Going, Gone"

The works of Shahar Marcus treat iconic milestones in Israeli culture from a critical, humoristic perspective. His art reflects his personal heritage, alongside references to contexts and sites that are replete with local meaning, while emphasizing their universal aspects.
The works in the show reflect two important motifs that recur in Marcus's art: the treatment of material and mythical layers of local reality, on the one hand, and the treatment of basic food products identified with Israeli life, on the other hand.
