France, the many suns and splendours of his journeys in spite of the horrors of wartime, and the tragic turning points of his century were to enable him while still young to interiorize and mark, with his own personal seal his “magnificent” fist works, a crossroads, the meeting place of multiple paths. *       The eyes of his characters express the pain of century’s martyrdom, and it is in the brightness of his violent colours that you can read his hymn to life, even though this life is wounded and broken by the horrors of the Shoa. *       But Raya SORKINE can also save us from forgetfulness by his mastery of the art of having his clowns  juggle, his violinists play, by all these Russian Jews that live forever though their movements, the reds and yellows that they must have longed to embody down the years.  *      These groups of contrasts and contraries blend in a perfect harmony from which springs an art as lively as it is mystical, bursting with a life that inspires dreams, in quest of all the forgotten, frozen moments of the past, the universal memory of mankind.  These women, men, portraits of Rabbis, all engaged in or escaped from a recent past, are brought back to life by the burst of bright colours, magical yellows, reds, and blues that cannot but point us towards a reflective, serene optimism.   It is the colour-language of a true “Sabra” that enthralls us. * *Retrieved from: http://www.sorkineraya.com/product_info.php?cPath=22_23&products_id=30&osCsid=ce2287bedc5f1978fac0b472d149c23d * *
