On October 25, 2025, the Global Art Gallery in Tel Aviv will open a captivating solo exhibition by Dov Fuchs — a visual artist whose works blend artificial intelligence and digital craftsmanship under his full creative control. The limitless digital revolution brought by AI recalls the era when the first cameras appeared — a time when many feared photography would push the plastic arts into obscurity. In practice, hotography evolved alongside traditional art, forming a new experiential realm open to all and even reinforcing painting’s prestige by documenting and disseminating it worldwide
The ability of artificial intelligence to generate images “at the click of a tongue,” so to speak, seems to threaten artistic individuality, yet in truth it expands it granting those who are not painters or photographers a chance to express original visions that deepen the human experience. Over time, a distinction will emerge between works that merely seek effect and those that genuinely broaden human consciousness
One of the exhibition’s central pieces, The Labyrinth, evokes the works of Dutch artist M.C. Escher, a pioneer of the absurd who explored the endless dilemmas of the human condition. Fuchs’s interpretation, projected through his own image, dramatizes his sense of confronting irresolvable pathways — a built-in personal labyrinth he must traverse as an inescapable destiny. This condition mirrors every seeker of meaning, shaped by years of exploration through inner and outer landscapes, until reaching that pivotal moment of existential questioning: What am I searching for, and why do I search at all? The journey inward opens the territories of the self and of being itself, turning creation into an act of revelation — a mapping of the inner voyage, born into light much like the human being himself
The passing of time and the gradual sense of dissolution cast their long shadow across this journey toward illumination. They mark the finite measure of human existence — a mystery of how much one can accomplish within the boundaries of a single life. Fuchs eloquently conveys his awareness of temporality: the futility of resisting the hourglass, the sinking into the mud-dune of mortality. These images strike directly at the viewer’s core with disarming realism that makes one forget they are metaphors. His artistic style resists the excesses of those who treat AI as a playground for unbounded spectacle. His works remain credible, refined, and emotionally resonant — a model for creators seeking to express insight and necessity rather than mere novelty
Contemplation defines the mature artist — one who reaches a summit only to ask, what next? This question also defines the future of art itself: the digital era. Expression has reached its apex; metaphors have been honed to crystalline precision; the act of creation, seemingly complete, now turns reflexive. Fuchs’s gaze meets his own reflection in the landscapes he creates — yet he too appears as a reflection of those landscapes. Which came first, one wonders — the artist or the art Perhaps both arise simultaneously, each giving birth to and amplifying the other. Thus, art and its expression remain infinite — as does the restless search that sustains them. Dov Fuchs’s works are precise, authentic, and original, preserving the human essence they represent — and therein lies their power and worth
