Avinadav Begin, grandson of former Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin, is an artist who is now performing in Tel Aviv at Sheetr & Wolf Contemporary Art Gallery.
In that gallery, he is currently showing his latest work, neither painting nor sculpture, but something in between. They are made of metal and steel and are abstract and similar to rubble and broken window frames.
He called them “opening, hole” in an interview The Time of Israel This week. They reportedly weighed up to 220 pounds.
He stressed that he was an artist and therefore neither liked his father, the politician Benny Begin, nor his grandfather, who co-founded the right-wing Likud Party, now chaired by current Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
according to The Time of IsraelAvinadav felt a “forgiving distance” between the Likud party on Menachem’s Day and the current ruling Likud party, whose leaders have been criticized by many foreign countries, and several international agencies have been on the custody of the ongoing military movement that lasted for nearly two years, and his position was another dangerous year after the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023. The name of a regime is unknown, but it will not be democracy. ”
“I’m not a politician, I’m an artist,” Avinadav told The Time of Israel.
Despite this, he solved a series of political problems. He described the “difficult” state of facing a “defense” after what is called “continuous war, hostage situation, Iranian attacks and general trauma” in Israeli society.
“The hostages’ families are in a dilemma in hell, while the rest of us are in a dilemma between the Garden of Eden and the Garden of Hell,” he reportedly participated in weekly protests calling on Hamas, who died in the October 7 attack, killing the remaining 48 hostages, which killed about 1,200 people. (According to the local health ministry, this article does not mention that more than 65,000 people have died in Gaza since October 7.)
this The Time of Israel A comparison was made between the metal and cement at the beginning and the “Hamas Tunnel in Gaza”. Did the hostages influence the works created after October 7? Start saying, “They’re always in my mind.”
