At first glance, Shai Saul’s large color prints suggest almost abstract forms, but on closer examination reveal themselves as depictions of man’s intervention in real landscapes. While the mysterious beauty of the structures, their formal harmony and delicate coloring are fascinating, at the same time the obvious and violent changes which men impose on nature appear shocking. Mysterious, almost sublime buildings turn out to be harbingers of the destruction of the landscape.
Shai Saul’s approach to his art is philosophical, offering the viewer an abundance of further thoughts and feelings. The work’s aesthetic is as fascinating as the message underlying it.
The catalogue was published on the occasion of the exhibition “Shai Saul – Three Oaks” in the Galerie-Förster.
