Israeli artist Zeev Engelmayer’s “Daily Postcard” project lays bare his emotional response to the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attack. Since then, Engelmayer has drawn more than 300 images — some evoking despair and isolation, longing and grief, yet the vibrant colors and childlike figures spark a measure of joy and beauty. “I decided to center on hope,” he said, “that something beautiful could be born of something so brutal.” His “Pastoral Kibbutz,” pictured, a folk-like illustration shows a happy picture where something horrible could happen, as it did on Oct. 7. Thirty of the illustrations are on display at Westchester Jewish Center’s Koslowe Gallery, Mamaroneck, NY, through Jan. 21.
