The ''Metaphysical Drawings'' by Israel Hadany

‘’The Metaphysical Drawings’’

I called these series of drawings "The Metaphysical Drawings" as they are free of any effort, intention, style, and cultural dependence. The observer will discover with no difficulty their connections to the totality of my work over the years, especially to the groups of sculptures I called:'' Desert Sculptures '', ‘’The Black System'' and ''Visual Memories''. Like these groups of sculptures, ''The ‘’Metaphysical Drawings'' cross spaces of consciousness, imagination, and mental fluctuations, conduct a dialogue with the cultures of the past and examine themselves with the tools of pure aesthetics. Like the sculptures, they too, try to reach that which is beyond time and place. With minimal means of lines and crayons, they conjure historical memories and fantasize futuristic fantasies. They are none personal, and at the same time, they are the seismograph and the architecture of the oscillations of the soul.
Without intention and effort, they come from somewhere, and I have no choice but to serve them with love and be the vessel that transfers them into the visible world.
