Angel on the Avenue by Victor Ostrovsky is a large giclee on canvas. It is from Victors Metaphors of Espionage Series. Image: 48 x 36. This piece will ship stretched. The safe house depicted in Avenue of the Angels actually existed in Nice, France and was part of the artist?s life in the Mossad. Safe houses are usually apartments?not houses?where comings and goings are less likely to attract attention. A safe house must never draw attention to itself. Ironically, safe houses are not very safe because of the unusual activities going on inside. Here, we know there?s an operation underway. The musicians symbolize the rhythm of a mission?not too fast, not too slow. Each operation moves at its own tempo. Gallery Retail: $2,700.00
Victor Ostrovsky is the best selling author, and screenplay writer, of four books which were a worldwide phenomenon. His expertise on Judaism, Islam and security issues, made him a thought after speaker. Victor has appeared on Larry King Live, The ABC, NBC, and CBS Nightly News, Prime Time Live, and dozens of other media venues worldwide. His book ?By Way of Deception? was banned for one week, but was overturned by the appeals court. ?The Israeli government, which won the temporary restraining order Wednesday, failed to prove that its agents? lives were endangered,? said a statement by a four-judge panel of the New York Appellate Division. Born in 1949 in Canada, Victor moved to Israel at the age of five. His inclination for the arts was apparent from a very early age. The well known Israeli painter, Giladi, lived on the same street and would often set up his easel outdoors to paint. Victor would watch, spellbound, on his way to and from school as Giladi created wonderful images on the blank canvas. Eventually, the artist presented Victor with his own box of oil paints and took the time to guide him into a world where expressions come through images and color, handing the child a gift that would soon become a passion.
