Dov Lederberg’s Artist Statement

admin — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 13:17:35 +0000

I am engaged in the converging vectors of art and science, but receive added inspiration from kabbalah teachings and meditation, trying to create visual forms conducive to mystical experience and self-transformation.

Most of my work would seem to fall within the abstract illusionist genre. This is especially true of my Dialogue series, my major preoccupation for the last three years, based on two cartoon faces in “psychological” confrontation. However, my most recent works in the Triptych series, such as Shaheed, have been very much influenced by current events in our world of turmoil and suffering.

Dov Lederberg’s Artist Biography

admin — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 13:16:03 +0000

Born Bronx NY, grew up in Philadelphia area, since 1967 living in New Jersey and Israel. Received B.A. Haverford College. Never formally studied painting in art school. In the 60’s I was an “underground” filmmaker and made the well regarded: “Eargogh”, starring Jack Smith as Vincent. Between 1970 and 1994 worked as film director as well as creating videoart.

My transition to painting came accidentally. Stills from my videos attracted a local gallery which deemed it worthy for an exhibition. I quickly learned to transfer their essential designs to canvas using airbrush and other techniques. Since 1995 I have created over 400 paintings, exhibited in galleries & museums in Israel and USA.
