Tamar Hirschl

Her work relates to disturbances caused by political conflicts, man-made problems and urbanization affecting the environment.

[2] Hirschl was born in Zagreb, Croatia, and moved to Tel Aviv following the Holocaust that she witnessed from a Nazi detention camp in Hungary.

Laura Kruger succinctly comments on her painting as: "The unimaginable scope and horror of the events that invest these works, the Holocaust, the World Trade Center attack, the Columbia Space Shuttle disaster, demand absolute attention on a grand scale.

"[2] Apart from Cultural Alarm, her other notable paintings include: Mementos III, Protest, Deer Watch, and Trauma set on vinyl and paper.

[2] Hirschl's recent solo exhibitions were held at: the Philadelphia Art Alliance, the 51st Venice Biennale, and the 9th International Istanbul Biennial.
