Closing Reception for “Life Sentence,” an Exhibition of Drawings by Shai Zurim

Zurim’s work encompasses myriad forms and is drawn from both his intellectual pursuits and spontaneous reactions to the nuances of everyday life. He is concerned about the paralyzing state of our emotional life. Narcissism, egoism, boredom, neurosis and anxiety—all these struggle to characterize a life lacking in purpose, passion, enthusiasm and a sense of community – in short, a life of spiritual vacuity.
