it is what it is. No more.

A full interview with the Israeli painter Raphael Perez (in Hebrew Rafi Peretz) about the ideas behind the naive painting, resume, personal biography and CV

Question: Raphael Perez Tell us about your work process as a naive painter?

Answer: I choose the most iconic and famous buildings in every city and town that are architecturally interesting and have a special shape and place the iconic buildings on boulevards full of trees, bushes, vegetation, flowers.

Question: How do you give depth in your naive paintings?

Answer: To give depth to the painting, I build the painting with layers of vegetation, after those low famous buildings, followed by a tall avenue of trees, and behind them towers and skyscrapers, in the sky I sometimes put innocent signs of balloons, kites.

A recurring motif in some of my paintings is the figure of the painter who is in the center of the boulevard and paints the entire scene unfolding in front of him, also there are two kindergarten teachers who are walking with the kindergarten children with the state flags that I paint, and loving couples hugging and kissing and family paintings of mother, father and child walking in harmony on the boulevard.

Question: Raphael Perez What characterizes your naive painting?

Answer: Most naive paintings have the same characteristics

(Definition as it appears in Wikipedia)

• Tells a simple story to absorb from everyday life, usually with humans.

• The representation of the painter's idealization to reality - the mapping of reality.

• Failure to maintain perspective - especially details even in distant details.

• Extensive use of repeating patterns - many details.

• Warm and bright colors.

• Sometimes the emphasis is on outlines.

• Most of the characters are flat, lack volume

• No interest in texture, expression, correct proportions

• No interest in anatomy.

• There is not much use of light and shadow, the colors create a three-dimensional effect.

I find these definitions to be valid for all my naive paintings

Question: Raphael Perez Why do you mainly choose the city of Tel Aviv?

Answer: I was born in Jerusalem, the capital city which I love very much and also paint,

I love the special Bauhaus buildings in Tel Aviv, the ornamental buildings that were built a century ago in the 1920s and 1930s, the beautiful boulevards, towers and modern skyscrapers give you the feeling of the hustle and bustle of a large metropolis and there are quite a few low and tall buildings that are architecturally fascinating in their form the special one

Also, the move to Tel Aviv, which is the capital of culture, freedom, and secularism, allowed me to live my life as I chose, to live in a relationship with a man, Jerusalem, which is a traditional city, it is more complicated to live a homosexual life, also, the art world takes place mainly in the city of Tel Aviv, and it is possible that from a professional point of view, this allows I can support myself better in Tel Aviv than in any other city in Israel.

Question: raphael perez are the paintings of the city of Tel Aviv different from the paintings of the city of Jerusalem

Answer: Most of the paintings of Jerusalem have an emphasis on the color yellow, gold, the color of the old city walls, the subjects I painted in Jerusalem are mainly a type of idealization of a peaceful life between Jews and Arabs and paintings that deal with the Jewish religious world, a number of paintings depict all shades of the currents of Judaism of today

In contrast, the Tel Aviv paintings are more colorful, with skyscrapers, the sea, balloons and more secular motifs

Question: Raphael Perez Tell us about which buildings and their architects you usually choose in your city paintings

Answer: My favorite buildings are those that have a special shape that anyone can recognize and are the symbols of the city and you will give several examples:

In the city of Tel Aviv, my favorite buildings are: the opera building with its unusual geometric shape, the Yisrotel tower with its special head, the Hail Bo Shalom tower that for years was the symbol of the tallest building in Tel Aviv, the Levin house that looks like a Japanese pagoda, the burgundy-colored Nordeau hotel with the special dome at the end of the building, A pair of Alon towers with the special structure of the sea, Bauhaus buildings typical of Tel Aviv with the special balconies and the special staircase, the Yaakov Agam fountain in Dizengoff square appears in a large part of the paintings, many towers that are in the stock exchange complex, the Aviv towers and other tall buildings on Ayalon, in some of the paintings I took plans An outline of future buildings that need to be built in the city and I drew them even before they were built in reality,

In the paintings of Jerusalem, I mainly chose the area of the Old City and East Jerusalem, a painting of the walls of the Old City, the Western Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, the El Akchea Mosque, the Tower of David, most of the famous churches in the city, the right hand of Moses, in most of the paintings the Jew is wearing a blue shirt with a red male cord I was in the youth movement and the Arab with a galabia, and in the paintings of the religious public then, Jews with black suits and white shirts, tallitas, kippahs, special hats, synagogues and more

I also created three paintings of the city of Haifa and one painting of Safed

In the Haifa paintings I drew the university, the Technion, the famous Egged Tower, the Sail Tower, well-known hotels, of course the Baha'i Gardens and the Baha'i Temple, Haifa Port and the boats and other famous buildings in the city

Question: Have you created series of other cities from around the world?

Answer: I created series of New York City with all the iconic and famous buildings such as: the Guggenheim Museum, the famous skyscrapers - the Chrysler Building, the Empire State Building, Lincoln Center, the famous synagogue in the city, the Statue of Liberty, the flags of the United States and other famous buildings

Two paintings of London and all its famous sites, Big Ben, famous monuments, the Ferris wheel, Queen Elizabeth and her family, the double bus, the famous public telephone, palaces, famous churches, well-known monuments

I created 4 naive paintings of cities in China, a painting of Shanghai, two paintings of the city of Suzhou and a painting of the World Park in the city of Beijing... I chose the famous skyline of Shanghai with all the famous towers, the famous promenade, temples and old buildings, two Paintings of the city of Suzhou with the famous canals, bridges, special gardens, towers and skyscrapers of the city

What if -Meg and Dia

All the time we question ourselves, asking "what if"

We never know the answer to these type of questions but thats why we just have to take a leap of faith. Thats what life is about. If we knew how our life was going to end up then it would be boring and very predictable. So maybe these "what if" type questions don't have to be as bad as most people make them out to be.

So go ahead start asking..

What if?

There are times while looking over my shoulder that I find myself questioning where I have come from and where I am going to. On this day I am thankful for being able to ask these questions. I do know that I need to start preparing my contribution for today's Thanksgiving dinner!

Happy Thanksgiving!

EBRD Green Cities helps to improve the lives of millions of people – by investments ranging from increasing access to water, upgrading public transport or improving the sustainability of the city’s energy system.

Alongside resilience provided by sustainable infrastructure, the event explored how cities can learn from and support one another in times of crisis. Bringing citizen voices into the room, citizens from three of the programme’s Green Cities told their stories and engage with a panel of decision makers and city thought leaders.

Broadcasting live from several of EBRD’s Green Cities, citizens linked their local context to the global one, reflecting on both personal and community resilience. Their questions to the panel asked how governments can support their citizens in difficult times to create ‘sustainable cities’ in the fullest sense.

This was a hybrid event taking place in-person at the EBRD Annual Meeting in Marrakesh, Morocco and streamed live to and from our countries of operation. The audience and panel were invited into the homes, businesses and project sites of EBRD’s Green Cities through a combination of pre-recorded video and live contributions.

How to capture a person in a picture? That is the question when it comes to portraits. However, this assignment allows me to think about the people I know and care about and decide what they are recognizable for. Adults have always found their nitch in life by the time they are older. It has always been easy to describe what you remember someone for when reminiscing. However, children can be harder. Children are my passion and they are who I decided to focus on. They are fun and playful and that’s why I decided to play with the pictures and have fun with the kids while I was taking their pictures.

Portrait 1 is a picture of my neighbor girl. She is the thrill seeker. She has always the one jumping off the swing, climbing to the top, and hanging upside down. This was a no brainer to put her upside down on the play set, she was over eager too. The picture had the bars of the swing set giving it some frame work through the picture. The picture was taken in shade and so the black and white seemed perfect with the light on the ground that seeped through the leaves of the tree.

Portrait 2 played off the angle for its fun. She is always riding her bike and asking me to take her on a bike ride so when I asked if I could take pictures of her, she ran back and returned with her bike. I used the light behind her to create more of a contrast. Black and white seemed perfect to create a more depth and contrast to the background of the blank sky and houses. I used her shade to from the sun to allow the brightness and focus of her. The light behind her makes her stand out from the background. The houses in the background give lines to picture allowing a frames look to her.

Portrait 3 is of my niece. She loves her bath time and is always playing in water when possible. She loves to have water poured on her face. She loves color so it was perfect to show the picture in color and show the color of the tub. The pool wraps around the body giving a separation to her head. The expression of excitement and expectation of the next glass of water is perfect. The lighting could have been better but the look of expression was what I was going for.

The self portrait was taken by someone else but turned out the way I wanted. I wanted a picture of me doing what I love. Riding my motorcycle is what calms and excites me all at the same time. The Sophia setting was used for this because it helped give the contrast I wanted between me, the road, and the surroundings. The lights on the motorcycle in the picture are perfect because it draws in the eyes but doesn’t overtake or reflect oddly. I knew I wanted to use the lines of the road. Also the poles and lines of wire compliment the picture nicely.

Portraits are wonderful for expressing someone’s passions and feelings. It’s hard to express with words but a portrait can show the expression on the face and in the soul. A photo can only tell the story. It was my job to create the story. I captured the story and they provided the emotion. Each picture came out better than I imagined. They also show exactly the memories I have of each child. I hope all of you can see their passion as much as I do.

"Any Questions?" by William King, at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, DC, USA.

Introibo

Description. Description. Description. The Litany of the Vitalist begins with this intonation. A question is generated or provoked. Describe what? Today’s simple answer is appetite.

"Most dear Son,

Among the gifts, graces, and prerogatives with which the Sovereign Creator, God Almighty, endowed and embellished human nature in the beginning, one seems to me to stand alone, and to excel all others; that is the one by which we can, in this mortal state, acquire a kind of immortality and, in the course of this transitory life, perpetuate our name and seed; which we do by lineage sprung from us in lawful marriage. By this means there is in some sort restored to us what was taken from us by the sin of our first parents, who were told that, because they had not been obedient to the commandment of God the Creator, they would die, and by death would be brought to nothing that magnificent form in which man has been created.

But by this method of seminal propagation, there remains in the children what has perished in the parents, and in the grandchildren what has perished in the children, and so on in succession till the hour of the last judgement. Then all generations and corruptions shall cease, and the elements shall be free from their continuous transformations, since peace, so long desired, will then be perfect and complete, and all things will be brought to their end and period.

Not without just and equitable cause, therefore, do I offer thanks to God, my Preserver, for permitting me to see my grey-haired age blossom afresh in your youth. When, at the will of Him who rules and governs all things, my soul shall leave this mortal habitation, I shall not now account myself to be absolutely dying, but to be passing from one place to another, since in you, and by you, I shall remain in visible form here in this world, visiting and conversing with men of honour and my friends as I used to do.

If the qualities of my soul did not abide in you as does my visible form, men would not consider you the guardian and treasure house of the immortality of our name; in which case my pleasure would be small, considering the lesser part of me which is my body, would persist, and the better part, which is the soul, and by which our name continues to be blessed among men, would be bastardized and degenerate."

Francois Rabelais (1494-1553), a Franciscan monk, gently leads us into this compost heap of musing on the possibilities of regenerating non-pro-creatively. Here in Gargantua’s letter to his son Pantagruel, he gives us one early description of the gene pool and of the passing on of one’s own specific DNA. Although the description is one of passing pro-creatively, the author himself, a non-pro-creative unit, bifurcates to achieve the goal of leaving this glorious description. He bifurcates into his two great characters, Gargantua and Pantagruel, and gives birth to an entire universe. This phenomenon of creating a universe is best described by Marcel Duchamp as Infra-thin, which he tells us is the infinite space between two sides of the same sheet of paper.

It is also the whiff of a Madeleine that provoked Marcel Proust to write one of the longest musings on memory ever undertaken. I will endeavour to elucidate as we progress but, at the same time, should say now that this is an attempt to acknowledge a group of bifurcators that have led me to a body of work, and a body of work which has led me to this group of bifurcators - a classic chicken and egg situation, or in this particular case, a Chicken-man and egg situation. All will be revealed, or not, totally dependent on time allotted.

I would like to suggest that the act of 'creation' might be described as, perhaps, attempting to tear the tail out of the serpent's mouth, that 'futile' wrestling with infinity.

The NCDMV Gets Real at the 150th N.C. State Fair

The NC Division of Motor Vehicles informed fairgoers about N.C. REAL ID and issued more than 420 driver licenses, learner’s permits, identification cards and REAL IDs at the 2017 North Carolina State Fair.

In their usual location between the Dorton Arena and Jim Graham Building, the DMV Mobile RV, housing a two-person mobile driver license office, was available Monday through Saturday for duplicate and renewal services. More than 50 DMV educated the public on N.C. REAL ID, the new, single form of identification for flying and visiting federal facilities, military bases and nuclear power plants. The staff answered questions about driver licenses, ID cards, vehicle registrations and titles, vehicle theft and identity fraud, as well as services that can be handled online without visiting a driver license office or license plate agency.

Commissioner Torre Jessup joined the team on opening day to educate the public on REAL ID. For more information on REAL ID, visit NCREALID.gov.
