Eran Shakine

A Muslim, a Christian and a Jew Knocking on Heaven’s Door

2nd Revised Edition

Muslims, Christians and Jews have a great deal in common. In his new large-format oilstick drawings Eran Shakine shows them appearing together as an indistinguishable trio in actions that are both profound and humorous. He thus reveals both the diversity and the similarity of the three and shows his own highly individual view of these three world religions.

description

The drawings of Eran Shakine (* 1962 in Tel Aviv) look carefree and casual, but their message is serious: Muslims, Christians and Jews share a history. They are linked through Abraham’s sons Ismail, an ancestor of the Muslims, and Isaac, an ancestor of the Jews. And Jesus was born a Jew.
They are members of one family and so Shakine makes them look similar. And although they interpret their texts differently, love, quarrel, tell of their personal dreams and describe their personal paths, they share one thought: when they knock at heaven’s door, they all hope to find the love of God.
