Combining two seemingly completely different halves into one whole is a talent that only geniuses have. In the art world, these include director Tim Burton and an Israeli artist known as Kukula … Their work, by the way, is somewhat similar. The gloomy and wonderful mood enveloping the characters of these brilliant artists beckons the audience like a powerful magnet. Unsurprisingly, Burton's films have so many accolades and Kukula's films are so popular around the world. Kukula was born and raised not far from Tel Aviv and from childhood she had heard and seen enough stories about the Holocaust and World War II, and not from books and TV, but from living participants in these terrible events. Crashing deadly into the child's memory, all this could not but leave a mark on the child's life, and therefore affected creativity - the author does not dare to deny this. As a result, her canvases are adorned with sad, sometimes violent, but generally beautiful plots with the participation of dark porcelain dolls that look like cute girls from high society.
An attentive person will find here similarities with Tim Burton's "Alice", and some dolls seem to be created in order to participate in the filming of other films familiar to us from childhood, remade in Burton's manner. So, here there are plots reminiscent of Mary Poppins, The Little Prince, Peter Pan and the Tale of Lost Time … But in general, the works are attracted not so much by the plot as by its symbolism, sometimes filled with a certain philosophical subtext … And sometimes completely meaningless, abstract, but invariably distinctive. Kukula was able to combine cruelty and tenderness, dark and beautiful, classic European art forms and modern pop art into one whole.
Kukula is a professional artist. At one time, she graduated from the Vital Shenkar Art Academy in Ramat Gan, from where she moved to live and work in San Francisco, where her numerous exhibitions and master classes are held.
