ARTIST'S INFORMATION |
MICHOEL MUCHNIK |
Here is a representative selection of lithographs, serigraphs, prints and original mosaics by renowned artist Michoel Muchnik, entitled "Mysticism & Mosaics" .
Michoel Muchnik among the foremost Jewish artists of our day, revolutionized Chassidic art generating a tremendous impact on Jewish life. His imaginative and joyful depiction of traditional and mystical Jewish themes brought him critical acclaim and international prominence.
Muchnik has exhibited his original Judaica, acrylic and watercolor paintings and lithographs throughout the United States, Europe, Israel, South Africa, South America, the Orient and, most recently, Australia. His originals have been displayed at the Brooklyn Museum, the Goldman Arts Gallery in Washington, D.C., Yeshiva University Museum in New York, Dansforth Museum in Massachusetts, the Sydney Jewish Museum and the Sharei Tzedeck Collection in Israel.
UNICEF selected his 'Cup of Blessing' for their international greeting card series. Behrman House commissioned a series of his original painting for their gift edition of Pirkei Avos, 'Sayings of The Fathers'. He has also written and illustrated eight children's books and provided cover illustrations for numerous other books and magazines.
Says Muchnik: "As an artist, my desire is to reflect a deeper perspective on life and being Jewish. Art is a unique way of portraying many spiritual themes. Like a person, every painting has a body and a soul."
