An exhibition of the Jewish Museum Berlin

In his large-scale drawings, Eran Shakine (b. 1962 in Tel Aviv) humorously looks at the similarities and differences between the three Abrahamitic world religions.

For Shakine, however, the three appear as an outwardly indistinguishable trio. In his work they are a symbol for the three major world religions. In search of their common origins, the love of God or the dialog with Moses, the trio experience various bizarre as well as everyday situations.

As carefree as the drawings may appear to be, their statement is a serious one: Islam, Christianity, and Judaism share a common history despite the different interpretations of the scriptures. Their wishes, dreams, and aspirations are ultimately very similar.

Eran Shakine paints, draws, and creates sculptures and art in public spaces. He was born in Israel in 1962 to a French father and Hungarian mother, both of whom are Shoah survivors. He lives an works in Tel Aviv.
The exhibition title plays on the beginning of jokes based on stereotypes.

PUBLICATION

Exhibition Catalogue

Eran Shakine: A Muslim, a Christian and a Jew – Knocking on Heavens Door

To accompany Eran Shakine's first exhibition in Germany, a catalog of the Israeli artist's large-format oil paintstick drawings has been released. Because Muslims, Jews, and Christians have much in common and are, in fact, a family, Shakine depicts them identically in his drawings. Difference becomes similarity, and the three characters reach shared insights through exploits that are both profound and funny. After all, even if their interpretations of Scripture vary, they often act alike on their joint quest to find God's love at the gates of Heaven.
