Period Contemporary (1945-today)
"Moral Eye" is a poignant painting that serves as a critique of society's false morality and intolerance, which can result in a culture of cancelation. The painting's central figure is a totem-like structure with a vigilant eye and a series of floating stones that symbolize human destiny. The totem in the painting represents the societal structures responsible for enforcing morality and punishing individuals who do not conform to societal norms. The eye on the totem represents the watchful and judgmental gaze of society, which can be a positive force for accountability but can also lead to oppression and intolerance. The floating stones in the painting represent the concept of destiny, which is shaped by societal expectations and norms. The fact that they are floating in mid-air indicates that the trajectory of human destiny is subject to change and influenced by the choices people make.
Artist Biography

Cukier chooses colors and shades that reveal a yearning for a less superficial, less deceptive reality. The forms, dimensions and colors give shape to dreams and nightmares, and even allude to a notion of hope. Humor is used to reflect fears, habits and desires that most of us deny and suppress deep within.​
