Artistic Statement

A.  Art is a tool, the tool in enriching human perception!
Human perception is a leverage point, which will allow mankind one day to not only move the earth- but rather negotiate an entire universe.
(Oz, Feb 1981, with exhibit At P.S.I. L.I.C. N.Y.)


B. Thesis: ” The moment I conceive the “Visual idea” my work is done. Any of my assistants can execute the work of art as well as I do or better.”
(Sol Lewit ,conceptualist)

Antithesis: Show me this evil, show me this conceptual art - and I’ll chop it to non existence. To order as God-work as a slave. The work itself and its visual result are the only values.
(Constantine Brancux, with carving wood in hand, Paris studio.)

Synthesis: During the actual process of work, In challenging visualization of an idea I’m not only executing while adding, subtracting, correcting and refining a work of art into meaningful existence but many a times finding and arriving at a totally new beginning.
(Oz, Artistic thinking)


C. My art is a summery result of the entire cumulative human experience and knowledge: from history, philosophy via mathematics, poetry and music etc. Yet it is about nothing else but itself- ART!
(In an interview for “Art in America” 1992)
