Asaph Ben Menahem's Woodcuts at William Koehnline Gallery Explore Trauma Through Monumental Scale

Israeli artist Asaph Ben Menahem presented woodcuts at the William Koehnline Gallery from September 10 to October 31, 2003. Located at Oakton Community College in Des Plaines, Illinois, the exhibition featured works that conveyed traumatic and existential meaning through terrifying and violent imagery. Ben Menahem's approach as a monumentalist was evident in his woodcuts, which mostly measured five feet in dimension. The scenes depicted were often difficult to look at, yet they powerfully communicated the artist's thematic concerns. The gallery's address was 1600 East Golf Road, with contact information provided as 847-635-2633. This presentation offered viewers an opportunity to engage with Ben Menahem's distinctive artistic vision during the fall of 2003.
