Tamar Hirschl-Snyder was born in Zagreb, Croatia and lives and works in New York, NY and Tel Aviv, Israel. Present-day issues of political and cultural unrest are topics of particular interest to Hirschl, who migrated to Israel after the Holocaust. During the summer of 2014, her solo exhibition, “The Testimony of the Deer” opened at the Ramat Gan Museum of Israeli Art in Israel. This body of work, spanning 2002-2012, explored the effects of human conflict and urbanism on nature and the environment in a series of paintings, murals, video, and mixed media sculpture. Recently, she has turned her focus to cultural mapping, the embattled state of Israel, and the plight of political refugees. According to the artist, the modern history of Israel can stand as an archetype for the condition of the displaced everywhere. From early history to current events in the Middle East, refugees have existed in a state of eternal return. As a side project to facing such traumatic issues head-on, a hopeful strand of work has emerged, of musicians and performers depicted in a jazzy and expressionist style.
