Lea Avital

 

Lea Avital was born in Israel 1974. She lives and works in Tel Aviv.

 

The primary interest of Lea Avital lies both in sculpture and the use of ready-made objects. Avital attempts to infuse her work with a dimension of vitality and alertness – to ‘open up the material’, to process it, and to search for its intriguing side. Her artistic process involves a delicate act, a minor diversion or lucid twist, while at the same time, her work is bound together by clear logic, as it strives towards a precise and focused other dimension. Acting within a mechanism that can think through the limitations of the ready-made and its outcomes, with a miniscule yet precise motion, the object generates a new connection to the reality within whose boundaries it has been operating. In a sense, the visual outcome does not incorporate our understanding in its entirety. Details disappear from one reality that is “weakened” in order to intensify another, second reality – the reality of the work.

 

Lea Avital’s works forego narrative elements out of a strong desire to distill a given sensation, to do away with unnecessary details, and to produce a unique experience. The finished object is a situation of sorts, which holds the potential for feeling or for movement – an internal, restrained emotional movement.

 

Lea Avital graduated from Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design, Jerusalem, with a BFA Magna Cum Laude; Postgraduate Program, Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design, Tel Aviv; Student Exchange Program, The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art, New York, NY. She participated in solo and group exhibitions, including Post Minimalism in the 70s and in Contemporary Art, Herzliya Museum of Contemporary Art. She received numerous prestigious awards, including the Messer Prize for Young Artist, and the Minister of Science, Culture and Sport Young Artist Award.

Oren Ben Moreh

 

Oren Ben Moreh was born in Israel in 1982. She lives and works in Tel Aviv.

 

Oren Ben Moreh’s interest lies in the fantasy-like aspect of the painting, in the way it functions as a universe of imaginary associations along with muted meanings: a screen of reflections where space, depth, and color are realized into an internal vitality. Paintings that, at the same time, reveal and hides it own internal process.

 

Her early series of paintings featured cinematic images which drew her attention for their fantasy and delusional aspects. Interested in the relationship between cinema and painting, she finds both enable illusory space, but the cinematic medium, as opposed to painting, provides movement and narrative. In her paintings one could find only traces and sparks of the cinematic experience: empty spaces before or after an event, portraits, abandoned landscapes and motives of plant life.

 

Her intention is not to reflect the reality or to be faithful to a particular image but to transfer her spiritual insights onto the rigidness of the oil pastels, as the form and content of the painting are strongly bound together.
The oil pastels and sticks paintings on paper create an intense and compressed surface, forming an atmosphere of mystique that emerges from the action of painting itself.

 

Ben Moreh creates the oil pastels to work in a manner resembling the process of sculpting. The outcome is very compress, sensual, and emotional, as the form and content of the painting are strongly bound together. In her recent series of paintings she used repeated strokes of oil paint. The works’ subject matter and the technique in which the paintings were executed complement and emphasize one another

 

Oren Ben Moreh participated in solo and group exhibitions, including Five Young Artists, Artists Studios, Tel Aviv in 2008; Fresh Paint Art Fair for Israeli Contemporary Art, Tel Aviv in 2009 and 2010; and Italy – Israel, Senses of the Mediterranean, Hangar Biocca, Milan in 2011.

 

Ben Moreh has been awarded the Excellence in the Arts Award by HaMidrasha School of Art, Beit Berl College.

Matan Ben Tolila

 

Matan Ben Tolila was born in Kibbutz Yavne in 1978.  He lives and works in Jerusalem.

 

Matan Ben Tolila’s work hangs on moments in which reality and abstraction co-exist. His work methods include acts of repetition, distortion, filling, and subtracting. Ben Tolila investigates issues of mobility, stability, and control – or lack thereof, suggesting several possibilities simultaneously. The Artist paints mental landscapes as though they were exterior landscapes. He tantalizes us with familiar and tangible objects, in which he embeds unmissable traces of illusion and a puzzle, a labyrinth, as though explicitly telling us: the image before you is in my mind and in your mind only.

 

The scenery portrayed in Ben Tolila’s earlier paintings featured temporary structures of different kind and function, constructed with simple, almost schematic elements. These temporary structures spread out and conquer the landscape while at the same time blocking it, dictating scale, perspective, and narrative.  The landscapes seem to describe nowhere specific; painted with intensive opaque brushstrokes and strong non-natural colors they reflected detachment, unease, and tension.

 

In his recent series of paintings, Ben Tolila created a journey diary of sorts. imbued with sober longing and yearning for faraway and exceptional places. In these works he creates an enigmatic composition of a painting within a painting set in the landscape, on which he projects images taken from plays, childhood books, and old painting books. The images differ greatly in their nature and context but share the same search for reason, idea, and the persistent demand for painting.

 

Matan Ben Tolila graduated from Bezalel Art Academy in 2006, and from the Bezalel MFA program in 2010.

 

Ben Tolila has exhibited in solo and group exhibitions, such as: “Journeys” Israel Museum, Jerusalem; Shesh-Besh, Petach Tikva Museum of Art; The Same Sea/A Different Coast, Galerie 61, Bielefeld, Germany; Vacuum, RawArt Gallery, Tel Aviv; Open Call for Snow, Gallery 39, Tel Aviv; City Gallery, Kfar Saba; Travelers’ Hut, Bezalel Gallery, Tel Aviv; Rock Paper& Scissors, The New Gallery, The Artists’ Studios, Jerusalem

 

Ben Tolila has been awarded the Excellence in Painting in 2006 by the Fine Art department, Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design, Jerusalem. He has received the Excellence of the America-Israel Cultural Foundation award in 2005, 2006, and 2007, and the Presser Award for Excellence in painting by the Bezalel Academy.

Joshua Borkovsky

 

Joshua Borkovsky was born in Israel, 1952. He lives and works in Jerusalem.

 

Borkovsky’s work draws on a longstanding heritage of painting and on traditional techniques of painting and meticulous craftsmanship, procedures that mainly entail an aberrant slowing-down, an ongoing accumulation, and an extreme painterly endurance. These are all employed in his works so as to achieve an endless suspension of the ephemeral and the bodiless, of the passing and of what has passed long ago, of what cannot be fixated or held, of what is no longer here and perhaps never was. It is in the tensions between these polarities that their elusive presence and their extraordinary essence are situated.

 

His early paintings feature phantasmagoric imagery, such as the silhouettes of sailing ships and cartographic images. In his later works, this preoccupation has yielded images of crystal chandeliers reflected in mirrors, anamorphic photographs of gardens, the Echo & Narcissus cycle, the Leda and the Swan cycle, the Vera Icon cycle, and his recent cycle of paintings Apelles’ Line.

 

Borkovsky’s paintings also give way to uncertainty in the viewer, in that the viewer is unsure as to what he sees, the true meaning of the image, and his own interpretation of what is being displayed. Echoic of Rashomon, the viewer remains in a state of uncertainty. The doubt that is eminent to these paintings in turn becomes the doubt of the viewer, and as a result, has a powerful impact.

 

The work of Joshua Borkovsky has been shown extensively, including in the solo exhibitions Veronese Green at The Israel Museum, Jerusalem in 2015; The 12th Biennale de Paris, Museé d’Art Modern de la Ville de Paris in 1982; The Israel Museum, Jerusalem in 1987; The 42nd Venice Biennale, Italy in 1986; The 12th Biennale of São Paulo, Brazil in 1991; and The Ein Harod Museum of Art in 2005. Recent group exhibitions include: Love At First Sight, The Vera, Silvia and Arturo Schwarz Collection of Israeli Art, Tel Aviv Museum of Art in 2000; Culture and Continuity, The Jewish Museum, New York in 2002; Landscapes, Berlin Fair in 2003 and 2005; Water in Art and Life, The Israel Museum, Jerusalem in 2007, Adventures of Truth – Painting and Philosophy, Maeght Foundation, Saint Paul de Vence, France (curated by Bernard-Henri Levy) in 2013.

 

Joshua Borkovsky has received numerous prestigious awards, amongst them: The Beatrice Kolliner Prize for a Young Artist, The Israel Museum, Jerusalem in 1980; The Janet and George Jaffin Prize for Excellence in the Visual Arts, The Ministry of Education and Culture Prize in 1990; America-Israel Cultural Foundation Scholarship in 1998; The Artistic Encouragement Prize, Ministry of Education and Culture in 2005; and The Dizengoff Prize for Painting and Sculpture in 2013.

Keren Cytter

 

Keren Cytter was born 1977 in Tel Aviv. She lives and works in New York.

 

Keren Cytter is a fertile storyteller. She works mainly with video and film and has created more than 65 scripts and films in the last decade.  Cytter, whose artistic practice has gained an outstanding international recognition, is also known for her live performances, drawings, and photography.

 

Keren Cytter uses visual media in innovative ways to build powerful and affecting narratives out of twisted scenes. Cytter’s films, video installations, and drawings represent social realities through experimental modes of storytelling characterized by a non linear, cyclical logic and multiple layers of images: conversation, monologue, and narration systematically composed to undermine linguistic conversation and traditional interpretation schemata. Recalling amateur home movies and video diaries, these montages of impressions, memories, and imagining are poetic and self-referential in composition, thought provoking, and inescapably engrossing.

 

Keren Cytter’s films portray characters entangled in complicated relationships, simultaneously connected to, and alienated from, one another. She is inspired by direct experiences and observations of her surroundings as well as the films, plays, and novels of luminaries like Alfred Hitchcock, John Cassavetes, Roman Polanski, Jack Smith, Tennessee Williams, and Samuel Beckett. Her work is carefully scripted and produced while maintaining a sense of spontaneity and unpredictability. While past films have been shot in her apartment with a cast of friends and acquaintances, her recent works were filmed with professional actors.

 

Writing
In addition to her video and performance works, Cytter is also a critically acclaimed writer. She has published three novels The Man Who Climbed the Stairs of Life and Found Out They Were Cinema Seats (2005), The Seven Most Exciting Hours of Mr. Trier’s Life in Twenty-Four Chapters (2008), and The Amazing True Story of Moshe Klinberg – A Media Star (2009), as well as poems and excerpts from her diary titled White Diaries (2010). She also wrote the libretto for the chamber opera Le Voisin by Thomas Myrmel.

 

Dance and Theatre
In 2008 Cytter formed a dance company called D.I.E NOW (Dance International Europe Now) consisting of 5 non-professional dancers. Their first production History in the Making – The True Story of John Webber, which was based on a wide range of influences including Pina Bausch, Samuel Beckett, Disney on Ice, Michael Jackson, Yvonne Rainer, and the 1980s dance-floor filler Lambada, went on an international tour and was presented in Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall in London, The Kitchen in New York City, Tramway in Glasgow and Hebbel am Ufer in Berlin.

 

Awards
In 2006 Cytter won the Bâloise Prize at Art Basel, Switzerland.  In 2008 she received the Ars Viva Prize and was one of the four nominees for the Preis der Nationalgalerie für Junge Kunst, Berlin. In 2009 Cytter became the first recipient of the Absolute Art Award in Stockholm, and in 2010 she was shortlisted for the Future Generation Art Prize.

Ori Gersht

 

Ori Gersht was born in Tel Aviv in 1967. He currently lives and works in London.

 

Over the course of his activity, the interests of Ori Gersht have incorporated history and metaphor, history of trauma, and the constant intertwining of metaphysical space into his subject matter. Gersht’s highly researched aesthetics has an innovative approach to the materiality of his medium. His works examine the gap between the mechanical, attentive and unassumptive vision of the camera, and the subjective vision of the human eye. At the same time, his practice offers a constant exploration of the boundaries of photography, challenging its technological limits while touching on fundamental questions of optical perception, the perspective of time, and the relation between the photographic image and reality.

 

Gersht confronts works from the history of art with the medium of photography – pushing the camera to its limits while using ground-breaking technology, elaborate planning process, and material construction.  The largest part of his work is associated with journeys he takes to places across the world that have witnessed or are still witnessing conflict. Gersht photographs—and sometimes films— the landscape of these places, carefully selecting his frames so that any references to the identity of location are extremely oblique if not entirely absent. His images are technically sophisticated; using devices as overexposure or movement, which further intensify the abstraction of representation. A fundamental concept underlying his works is the relationship between destruction and creation, and the way the moment of destruction becomes the moment of creation. Gersht uses these themes to offer an extended and complex meditation on the nature of time and the recording mechanisms of photography.

 

Gersht holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Photography, Film, and Video from the University of Westminster, London, and a Master’s Degree in Photography from the Royal College of Art, London.

 

Gersht has had solo exhibitions at museums such as Sinclair-Haus, Bad Homburg; Columbus Museum of Art, Columbus, OH; Tate Britain, London; The Imperial War Museum, London; Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, DC; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, MA; Tel Aviv Museum of Art, Tel Aviv; Yale Centre for British Art, New Haven, CT; The Jewish Museum, New York, NY; Santa Barbara Museum, CA; Photographers’ Gallery, London.
Recent group exhibitions include: Commission for Govert Flinck retrospective, Museum Kurhaus Kleve, Kleve; Still Life: Capturing the Moment, Palm Springs Art Museum, Palm Springs, CA; Revelations: Experiments in Photography, Science Museum, London; National Media Museum, Bradford;  Bruegel Land, The Royal Museum of Fine Arts, Antwerp; Seduced by Art: Photography Past and Present, London National Gallery, London; Eating Art, La Pedrera/Casa Milà, Barcelona; Ori Gersht, Idris Kahn, Boo Ritson, Centro Andaluz De La Fotografia, Almeria; In Focus: Living History at Tate Modern, London; Twilight: Photography in the Magic Hour, V&A Museum, London; Inside-Out, Contemporary Artists from Israel at MARCO, Vigo, Spain.

 

Ori Gersht received the Nata Dushnitsky-Kaplan Foundation Prize, Tel Aviv Museum of Art (2014); The Shenkar’s Honorary award, Shenkar Art Institute, Tel Aviv (2012); Artis Grant (2010); The Leon Constantiner Photography Award for an Israeli Artist, Tel Aviv Museum of Art; Prize winner at the British Transport Competition, Mall Gallery, London 1990; Prize winner at the South Bank: annual show, Royal Festival Hall, London.

 

Gersht’s work is included in numerous private and public collections around the world, including the Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco, CA; the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, NY; Los Angeles County Museum of Art, CA; The J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles, CA; Victoria and Albert Museum, London; Imperial War Museum, London; University of Chicago; Israel Museum, Jerusalem; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; British Council, Deutsche Bank, UBS

Chanan de Lange

 

Chanan de Lange is a Dadaist artist, the spirit and freedom of Dada artist is blowing between his works, characterized by a playful and tongue in cheek tone. Marcel Duchamp had said: “I enjoy looking at the bicycle wheel, it has a pleasing and comforting aspect”. De Lange’s pleasure in the creation process, the freedom with which he operates, breathes life, forms relationships, re-creates, creates two and three dimensional works, full of humor, movement, and imagination. The connection between the different elements forms a new syntax that imbues them with fresh, personal and universal meanings.

 

Professor Chanan de Lange graduated with honors from Bezalel Department of Industrial Design. He has been an active designer since 1985 and a teacher at Bezalel since 1988. He served in the past as head of Bezalel Industrial Design Bachelor’s Degree program and (1992-1995) and Bezalel Industrial Design Master’s Degree program (2006-2007). An associate professor since 2003 and a professor since 2008.

 

De Lange has had two solo exhibitions at Tel Aviv Museum of Art (2012 and 1994), as well as a solo exhibition at Novalis Gallery in Turin, and Haifa Museum, and his works were featured in many group exhibitions at Tel Aviv Museum of Art, The Israel Museum, Jerusalem, The Tel Aviv University Gallery, The Artists’ Studios, Holon Design Museum and more.

Nogah Engler

 

Nogah Engler was born in Israel in 1970. She lives and works in London.

 

Engler’s haunting landscapes tread the tenuous path between the idyllic and its dissolution, attempting to simultaneously depict classical beauty and its negation. This paradox is manifested through the representation of pastoral landscapes that are fragmented and torn. To depict this conflicting situation Engler devotes considerable attention to minute details, contrasting them with broad bands of unyielding color. This is also highlighted by the blend of hard-edge geometric versus soft organic shapes and by the side-by-side use of fine ordinary and crude industrial oil paints.

 

This conflicting perception derives mainly from two sources. One relates to political upheavals and particularly to her family’s experiences. The other source relates to art history, especially to the northern European pastoral landscape painting tradition, as exemplified by Renaissance masters such as Jan Brueghel and Lucas Cranach, as well as to contemporary practice. Her works are also informed by the sensibility and imagery of German Romantic literature and painting, combined with the austerity of functional architecture.

 

Drawing on nature’s endless cycle of life and decay, as well as the destructive hand of man, her paintings embody the fragility of existence and the ultimate dichotomy of life/death that lies at the heart of the natural order. Although never directly depicted, the human presence is always implied and traces of man’s history are gradually disclosed across the layered strata of the painted field. Her landscape paintings are therefore an attempt to weave through the pastoral by recourse to discontinuous, diverse, and troubled memory fields. Despite their fragmented nature, the paintings nevertheless endeavour to recreate an internal unity.

 

Since graduating from her MA in Fine Art from Chelsea School of Art in 2004, Nogah Engler showed a solo exhibition at Ritter/Zamet gallery, London.  Her works have been included in numerous group exhibitions such as: Enchanted Forest, at the Israel Museum, Jerusalem, The Colour of Water, Tel Aviv Museum of Art, Wondrous Worlds, Helena Rubinstein Pavilion, Tel Aviv Museum of Art, Haifa Museum of Art.

 

Nogah Engler has been short-listed for the Ill Castellón Painting Prize and the Celeste Painting Prize in 2006.
