Description of the Artwork “Roee Suffrin”
The way war fronts are sourced in home front wars of gaming and common representations
Roee Suffrin, Israel
Our times and societies rely greatly on the power embedded in images. The spectrum of transmission possible through imagery is indeed enormous. What we “receive” from the images around us I try to use and broaden through my artwork. In this way, known forms of art are referenced. I try to infuse the visuality that we know with a new and multi-faceted message; a multi-layered dispatch, with each single work. I employ the lighter elements of a logographic society to re-create the heavier forms and projections of traditional arts. Archetypal forms and common kinds of imagery are combined and re-interpreted to convey complex, but clear ideas. And not only ideas. On a blind spot in the collision between familiar styles, a new and elusive charm appears. Mobius-ring narratives unfold through the making. The existence of religiosity in the very heart of the scandalous mechanisms of the everyday is a fascinating reality. I draw from different origins. From East and from West - according to my own sources in Persia and in the palaces of Berlin.
