Hebrew Union College’s Skirball Museum is proud to present Israeli artist Sam Griffin’s paintings expressing resilience and hope for peace.
Israeli artist Sam Griffin grapples with the personal and collective trauma sparked by October 7th and the ensuing war. The quick, trembling brushwork and erasure of layers of paint in his disquieting landscapes and compelling biblical works express the psychological and physical intensity of war and its aftermath. His art has a powerful resonance as we seek to strengthen the empathy and mutual responsibility linking North American Jewry and the people of Israel. Griffin’s paintings, forged in the crisis of war, convey the human capacity for healing and hope for a peaceful future for Israel and humankind.
