Museum and several shows in

Las Vegas, and Phoenix. I am

Printing is not for me. Why not

He left Toulouse with his parents,
an in 1973 arrived in Israel. He
served in the Israeli Army Forces
in the “Golani” Infantry Division.
His life’s journey is set out for us
as spectators of his art in its
multiple settings: settings of pain,
settings of a powerful joy, settings
of despair all framed with utopian
idealism grounded in a love for the
aesthetic. The presence of a
maternal grandmother, a hard and
elegant lady, an intellectual who
survived the concentration camps
and who left an indelible mark on
him of the nightmare of the
holocaust. His paternal
grandfather, also a survivor of
concentration camps and a Zionist
imprinted on Yoram his love for
Israel. His father, the ever present
brilliant man, university professor
in medicine, a leftist intellectual
and always a reference point from
whom Yoram had to escape –
Freudian tensions seem clear.
The presence of an aesthetic of
powerful colour reminiscent of the
French designer Christian Lacroix
– operating in a world of
sensitivities inspired by the source
of Yoram’s intellectual and visual
inspiration – the genius of Rothko!
A golden triangle of love and of
thrusting and thirsty energy
where Yoram Chisin needs to
learn how to be reborn, how to see
and how to savour life.
