The Jewish Museum of Venice is hosting Igor Skaletsky's exhibition Dream and Surreal from February 22 to May 17, 2020.

The Jewish Museum of Venice is hosting from February 16 to May 17, 2020 the exhibition Igor Skaletsky. Dream and Surreal.

A survey of the liberation of the dreamlike, the fantastic and the magical that is contained within each of us.The young and established Israeli artist, Igor Skaletsky, creates an enchanted world through surreal manipulation of images and scenes. In his works, the artist freely plays with recognizable images from art history and high culture and ironically combines them with the style of fashion magazines.



Between March 9 and 10 falls the holiday of Purim: the most joyous Jewish holiday, as it becomes an opportunity for children to dress up, and the Venetian exhibition is inspired by this very holiday, which leaves room for play and imagination.

Skaletsky combines symbols of religion, pop culture, animals and tattoo images, between the dreamy and the surreal, and offers the viewer a particular and evocative interpretation of famous stories. The artist’s intent is to create occasions of encounter - clash between early Dutch painters and Italian Renaissance masters with supermodels and icons of tattoo culture. His works are a mix of photography and painting and borrows the collage technique from the avant-garde artists of the 1920s.
