Assaf Shani’s work makes the viewers think that they may have seen this or that landscape section in the past; Maybe they have walked there before. Shani manages to create a sense of silence and almost a partnership with the viewer observing his paintings, that Somehow not only depict, but become a place. he’s work manages to present the special feeling inherent in the Israeli landscape and its humanity, a feeling that even without a title or even being exhibited in Israel, many will recognize as a landscape from here.. Israel.
