Kurzbiografie
Avi Kenan, 1951 geboren, lebte sein Kindheit in Israel. Zwischen 1972
und 1976 stellte er seine Kunst in Haifa, Bat-Yam und Tel Aviv aus.
Seit 1977 lebt er in Belgien und 1985 erhielt er die Belgische Staatsbürgerschaft.
Viele Ausstellungen hatte er seitdem in Belgien, in den Niederlanden,
in der Schweiz und in Frankreich. In den Jahren 1982 und 1983 war er
ebenfalls in den USA. Eine retrospektive Ausstellung fand 2004 im Europaparlament
in Brüssel statt.
Avi Kenan sagt von sich:
"I dedicated my life to the demanding work off sculpture and
everything around it. The message I always wanted to propagate comes
down to world peace and harmony, though I did not intend to obtain the
Nobel Prize.
I have done my utmost to reach minds and hearts through my work. I attempted
to pass the message of peace, to open the eyes of my fellow human beings,
who are so occupied with their daily grind and routine, as an incentive
to attain the things that really matter in life.
Some of my statues are a protest against violence and war, against the
suffering and ordeals which hamper the spiritual harmony and inner peace.
Naturally, an an Israeli and Belgium artist, I protest against the suffering
of Jewish people as well as other people in the world."
