Contemporary Whimsical Mike Leaf The Messiah, Bob Dylan & The Rebbe Paper Mache

About the Item

A motorcycle-riding Jesus, Hassidic Rabbi and Bob Dylan take to the road as Jesus literally takes the wheel. The expression of glee on all three character's faces as they get set to race through the crowded streets on this unconventional bike. Dimensions: 43w x 15.5d x 27h 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.
