_{Invitation to the exhibition}

With the reopening of the P.A. Architecture and Experimental Art Gallery. K. Entering the Technion, a comprehensive exhibition will be opened there in his memory, entitled 'The Art of the Sun'. Opening remarks will be chaired by the Dean of the Faculty of Architecture and Town Planning, Prof. Jacob (Yasha) Grobman, and Prof. Michael Burt.

A place of honor in the field of form study is reserved for renowned artist Prof. Paul Conrad Henich (1907-1997), who was nicknamed 'The Painter of the Sun', and who developed a new field of art and artistic technique that was highly regarded in Israel and around the world.

Using his creative ideas and technique based on the utilization of sun rays, Henich made use of a series of color reflectors and filters, which integrate with the relative motion of the sun and the earth. The intense color effects, and the circular-labyrinthine forms that form the rays of the sun, mention many images of reality, and may at one moment appear human, in the next moment as sheets of cloth, and in the third as cathedrals of light. Their transformation creates a kinetic art that reveals a formal world, which corresponds with the conceptual architecture and morphological research.

Curator of the exhibition, Danielle Talmore: "Professor Henich has been a long-time acquaintance of mine for years. He lived on Ahad Ha'am Street near the museum where I worked. During my Master's degree at Tel Aviv University, I did seminar work on it and is currently at Zipper House, the Israeli Art Archive in Tel Aviv. "

"With the reopening of the gallery, Michael and Tamar Burt initiated a comprehensive exhibition of his work. Prof. Michael Burt, a pillar of the Technion's Faculty of Architecture and who for many years served as dean, is also a renowned researcher and inventor in Israel and in the field of conceptual and morphological architecture. Beta. Burt, the trustee of Henich's estate, was very close to him, as a real boy. He even accompanied his innovative creative process over the years. "
