"Israel, his wives, and the 12 Tribes"

NEW YORK--- Hadas Gallery presents the world premiere of "We Are Patriarchs," the new painting series from Elke Reva Sudin. The exhibition evokes the legacy of Biblical characters and archetypes drawing them into the 21st Century with contemporary oil portraits that suggest classical European master painters by way of Anglo-Japanese Japonisme, and graffiti street art.  The 15 new works on display reflect a multi-cultural melting pot of global Jewry which has become a trademark theme for Sudin's work. Each image is a representation of a prominent figure from the Hebrew tradition, leaders in their time who continue to inspire Jews, Christians, and others too. [Facebook]
