DOV LEDERBERG
grew up in the Philadelphia area
(graduate of Central
H.S.)
and began his involvement in the arts
at Haverford College (BA
1963)
and the Columbia University School of Fine Arts.
During the
Sixties he became
one of the active filmmakers
within the New American
Underground
and the N.Y. Filmmakers' Co-op.
Between
1967 and
1994 he was
an independent film director,
mainly for
Israel TV,
making documentary and educational films,
as well as
creating various video art works.
Since 1995 Dov has been deeply
involved
in using new art mediums and techniques
to express and render
the subtle ideas
of Jewish mystical teachings and meditation.
He has
created many original acrylic paintings
and video art compositions
inspired by the Hebrew
letters in
the scribal
style.
His
current work is involved with
kabbalah
mandalas
visual paradigms for
dialogue
3-D triptychs ,
wax
congealings,
acrylic emulsions
paintings on refective surfaces
within the
abstract illusionist genre,
creating an evocative
"gestalt'
which invites the viewer's
active
interaction and
interpretation.
Dov, a
widower from his wife,
the artist, Yael
Avi-Yonah,
now lives in Tzfat (Safed) Israel,
His paintings and video art
are exhibited
in museums and galleries
