Cause for Concern

 

The artist relates in these works to his physical traumas which he went through. He describes in a staged photograph his feelings before a heart attack, by means of a stone as a heavy Burden on his shoulders, kind of privet via dolorosa, tree trunks indicating an angina pectoris, etc.
 

The Challah was used as a metaphor of the heart. A Challah with a zipper is part of the objects which he sculptured in order to continue following the treatment, the seizure and later on the stitches.

He turned the medical instruments tubes into an artistic subject.

 

The Exhibition’s curator, Arieh Berkowitz writes in the catalog: ''Gad Ullman sees himself locked in an allegoric complex of twisted lines into an embracing bundle, to express deep feelings when he is stripped, with no protection, in the classical way of drawing, by a Virtuosi professional hand which knows how to express a true honest and touchy saying’’.
