Israeli painter Porat presents Interview with Kafka in Prague (From Czech News Agency)

PRAGUE, Jan 19 2004 (CTK) - An exhibition by Israeli painter Jacob Porat dubbed Interviews with Kafka opened at the New Town Hall in Prague today under the auspices of the Czech Culture Ministry and the Israeli embassy.
Porat's work deals with his difficult childhood, his examination of Jewish and Israeli identity and with accepting the events of the past, Dana Wagnerova from the Israeli embassy told CTK today.
Porat was born in Poland and studied the violin in Tel Aviv, while also earning a diploma in Hebrew literature, Biblical studies and comparative literature. He studied visual arts at the Avni Institute.
He later taught literature and Bible studies at a secondary school.
Porat's strengths are his technique, composition and themes, as well as his instinct as an artist.
He uses various mediums, including photographs, music and literature to express himself, Wagnerova said.

Conversations with Kafka: Works by Jacob Porat

PRAGUE, CZECH REPUBLIC.- An exhibition of works by Jacob Porat is currently on view at the Embassy of Israel in Prague until February 25. The paintings of Jacob Porat are a tribute to Prague, Kafka’s home city. The exhibition also consists of photographed sites in Prague as well as pen drawings made by Kafka. The show is arranged in layers, and the longer one looks at the paintings, the more details are discovered and layers uncovered. The viewers form part of the exhibition as well, interpreting the meaning of the works as they peel off layer after layer.

The search for different, various forms of _expression describes Jacob Porat’s works. His paintings have a life of their own, and these lives have been an integral part of his works since he has begun painting to date. Porat’s continuous pursuit is associated with his search for Jewish and Israeli identity through painting, literature, music, and photography.

Jacob Porat Press Reviews and Articles

"Wystawa ta jest proba konfrontacji pomiedzy swiatem Kafki a swiatem Jacoba Porata" - celnie konstatuje prof. Nurit Govrin z Tel-Aviv University. Sam autor powiada, ze nie odnosi swoich prac do konkretnych utworow Kafki, najwyzej stara sie oddac w nich cos z gorzkiego, trudnego poczucia humoru pisarza. ...[Jolanta Antecka - Dziennik Polski] .

“Diese Ausstellung ist eine interpretierende, fundamentale Konfrontation zwischen der Welt der Literatur und der Malerei, sowie zwischen der Welt Kafkas und der Jacob Porats. Vor allem jedoch ist sie eine Konfrontation mit der Welt der Leser / Betrachter – ihrer Art, Kafkas Arbeiten vor dem Hintergrund Prags zu entschlüsseln und ihrem Verständnis der Kafka-Gemälde von Jacob Porat.” (Prof. Nurit Govrin).

Součástí doprovodného programu veletrhu byla také výstava předního izraelského malíře Jacoba Porata, jehož obrazy z cyklu Rozmluvy s Kafkou tvořily součást expozice k 80. výročí Kafkova úmrtí.
