Caesar's new body of work has a deep personal meaning for him as it touches on the hidden places in his psyche as well as reflects on childhood experiences. Virtually all of his work deals with coming to terms with the subconscious elements of his life and the way he experiences the world around him.

"My work seems to keep on the regular themes of "Hunting Back Innocence" and "Revelations of Light" and the painful process of "Self Examination" and hidden voices calling like sirens in the night. Premonitions and the worlds of pleasure and pain and ugliness and beauty and humiliation and dignity. For many people what I do is art, but for me the pictures are a communication from my subconscious to my conscious mind." - Ray Caesar

Adam Handler's sexy solo exhibition Love Junkies includes paintings and photographs themed around the often intertwined notions of relationship, obsession and sexuality.

With my work I strive for originality. I hope to entice various generations with the subject matter, while exposing it in a way that has never been done before.

- Adam Handler

The many artists in A Stitch in Jewish Time change our conception of materials, form, construction and creative reach. In the realm of conceptual fine art, each is outstanding and leaves an indelible impression that expands our perception of contemporary art and enhances our understanding of Jewish history, experience, and values. Individually, the artists address issues of memory and reflection, interpretations of history and ritual, and links between the past and present. They delve into aspects of the Holocaust, war, patriotism, celebration, prayer, feminism and sexuality, frequently through the inclusion of Biblical texts and sometimes challenging traditional forms. Artists in A Stitch in Jewish Time are both male and female, Jewish and non-Jewish.

The initial concept for the exhibition, curated by their director, Laura Kruger, is from an exhibition at Hebrew Union College (HUC). The show has been enlarged by the addition of photographs.  As we have come to realize, a picture is worth a thousand words, whether woven or photographic, as all visual arts enhance memory. 

The works in Vered's exhibition, Frank Stella: Fully Volumetric Reliefs, are boldly entwined with lived experience and Stella's interests in archeology and architecture.

One of the greatest artists of his generation, only he and Jasper Johns have had 2 retrospectives at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
