About the artist: Hadass Shlagman's art reflects her life in an expressive, tribal primitive surrealistic style, connecting her with powerful spirits, dreams, and mystical fantasy. Her work celebrates different genders, with naked bodies joyfully floating in space and sexual acts depicted as everyday banal activities in a contemporary world influenced by virtual reality and artificial intelligence. Shlagman began exhibiting her art in 1972 at the Photographers’ Gallery in London as a student of creative photography. In the early 1980s, she developed a unique technique of scratching black industrial paper and covering it with oil paints, creating a richly textured surface. She has participated in solo and group shows in the USA, Germany, and Australia. Recently, she returned to her hometown of Tel Aviv to create new art. Her art is influenced by her travels to exotic lands and the tribal art she encountered, which connects her to the spirit and strength of tribal people. Her visual world incorporates themes of love, passion, gender exploration, politics, and tradition, along with mystical creatures and inanimate objects that live with her in a magical fantasy. Shlagman explores the human condition in a constantly changing world where 21st-century technology, such as artificial intelligence and virtual reality, shapes society and raises questions about what it means to be human.
