A Muslim, a Christian, and a Jew - Eran Shakine
About the Event
The exhibition takes a humorous look at the similarities and differences among the three world religions.
The Israeli artist Eran Shakine (*1962) gives every one of his paintings the same title: “A Muslim, a Christian and a Jew…” – almost as if he were about to tell a joke. In his large-scale works, he humorously explores the question of similarities and differences among the three monotheistic world religions.

The headline of a (fictional) illustrated Time Magazine cover proclaims: “Mother gives birth to identical triplets: a Muslim, a Christian and a Jew.” The three gentlemen, usually dressed in top hats and black suits, wander through the world: searching for common origins, God’s love, or a dialogue with Moses, they experience various everyday and quirky situations. As carefree as the drawings appear, their message is serious: Islam, Christianity, and Judaism share a common history despite their different interpretations of scripture. Their wishes, dreams, and hopes ultimately lie very close together.
Shakine’s oil pastel works are, so to speak, anti-cartoons: they break with stereotypes and direct attention to what unites us – humanity, curiosity, doubt, hope, and faith. His works are easily accessible yet full of philosophical depth. With subtle humor and poetic clarity, Shakine invites us to recognize what connects us and to celebrate the human in our similarities.
