Contemporary Whimsical Harley Ben David Paper Mache Sculpture by Mike Leaf

About the Item

Join in on a motorcycle ride that is certain to be the highlight of your day. Leaf's take on a "Jewish" Harley (ben) David(son) shows his whimsical personality. As the rider concentrates on the road ahead, his expression of glee as he drives down the street defying odds to make beat sundown before Shabbos sets in. Dimensions: 17.25W X 24D X 15.5H In 1957, Mike Leaf, then a young man in his early twenties, arrived in Israel from England. Mike had a strong Zionist background, and he had decided to settle in Israel. He wandered through a series of different occupations until he began to paint, and when he opened his gallery in Tzfat, his work was well received. Mike continued to search for other means of expressions in his art. While his painting received positive reception and reviews, he wanted to find a mode of creativity which would reflect his surroundings. He had a keen eye for the observation of the follies of humanity, and he wanted to express what he saw.
