Grand Prix, 67 Biennial Salón Arturo Michelena, 2014. Valencia, Venezuela
The series EMEK (Hebrew: valley), was created after a visit in Adamit National Park located in the northern part of Israel, overlooking the border with Lebanon, that cuts through the valley which separates in an artificial and arbitrary way both territories. It’s a dark print in spite of having color. The photography that inspired the print testifies to the diurnal quality of the real, while the etching approaches the nocturnal.

In recent years, the work of Lihie Talmor has been like a progressive conquest of artistic space: from the two-dimensional plane of the etched page, with its illusionary spaces
Is it necessary to have the proper distance so as to see the full picture? And how does one know what the proper distance is?

Is it necessary to have the proper distance so as to see the full picture? And how does one know what the proper distance is?
It is not difficult to see in Lihie Talmor's work the expression of a sensitivity in its utmost development, that the artist knows how to communicate assertively
There exist an overriding need to distinguish between the ephemeral and the essential; the ephemeral wounds, the essential yet endures; until the day when the ephemeral will have corroded the essential, will have destroyed its very nucleus, its hard nucleus…
In a country where oblivion is who gathers the remains of the city, where the blanks of collective memory decide about the changes in power and the markets, the work of LIHIE TALMOR functions as a film of the subversive unconscious.
