The artworks of the artist, Ariel Oren, refer to those of the greatest modern painters: Fernand Leger, Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse, while incorporating graphic influences and sophisticated two-dimensional and traditional animation.
His artwork may be referred to as post-modernistic homage. With a harmony of color and movement and emphasized contours, Oren takes us viewers back to the modern painting of the first half of the twentieth century.
He recreates and debates, breaks and constructs and presents a creation which combines the use of unique compositions, from his personal point of view. Thus a fascinating artwork is created as a jigsaw puzzle of modernistic influences; a puzzle which brings renewed observation that stimulates comparison and is situated between the modern and the contemporary.

Latex, chocolate, soap, and video game software are just a few of the non-traditional materials that have inspired contemporary artists. While they embrace the modern, synthetic and technologically advanced world in which we live, some of materials present significant conservation problems for museum conservators. Gwynne Ryan, a conservator at the Smithsonian’s Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden discusses the challenges museums face with this issue: Should we keep art locked away to make it last? Or let it be experienced as it was intended while accelerating its natural degradation?
