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.
