Moushkie Bacher

THE KNIFE SHARPENER

Size Framed: 1025 x 850mm
Medium: Pastels on paper

In this artwork, the artist carefully weaves together select images to convey the hustle and energy in a typical Jewish town on the day before a Jewish festival – Yomtov. This work was inspired by the artist’s emotional love and cherished relationship with her Jewish religion and heritage. The technique of cray pastels on paper infuses the artwork with vivid colour and rich detail.
