Tomer Dekel, a plastic artist

In a love-hate relationship with the Israeli landscape.

In my works I use different elements  from my surrounding local space such as used electronics, vegetation, childhood games, construction materials  and many more.

Lior Waterman

BFA & MFA from Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design. He is teaching a lot and exhibiting a little.  During the years his work flows between video, performance, installations and sculpture. In the past few years   it the also evolve into sound.  

Matan Golan 

born in 1985 in Herzelya, undergraduate of Bezalel, living and working in Tel Aviv. Golan creates installations combining video and sculpture with a pinch of humor. His images and artistic manipulations are allegorical. Though with humor, his allegories are existential, sexual and masculine, searching for their place,  potency and satisfaction. Failing to do so.

Ayala Landaw, sculptor and installation artist.

Adi Dahan

Celebrating 10 years in the art business. Love walls, fascinated by pedestals and addicted to the smell of a fresh catalog. Never cried in front an artwork (even Rothko), but waiting eagerly for this moment to come. If I wasn’t an artist, I would probably work in something related to water (Pisces)

Menachem Roth was born in Jerusalem, 1975, to a Jewish Ultra-Orthodox family. Roth left the Hassidic society at the age of 18. His work derives from his biography and describes his ambivalent relationship with the world he left.

In 2005 he graduated from Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem (B.F.A), and continued to his M.F.A. at the KHM – Academy of Media Arts Cologne, Germany (2008). He received several scholarships and awards including: The Jerusalem Film & Television Fund (2015), DAAD-Preis für ausländische Studierende, Cologne (2007), Ehud Elchanani Award for Graduate with Honors, Bazalel Academy of Art (2005), American Israel Cultural Foundation (2004), Gesher – The Israeli Multicultural Film Foundation (2004).

Roth’s work addresses Jewish identity, Yiddish, Holocaust representations, Feminism and critical view upon the Ultra-Orthodox society. His most prominent work, Persued (2012), is a documentary in which Roth confronts the man who sexually abused him while attending an ultra-Orthodox boarding school. It was screened in various film festivals all around the globe and in many television stations in Israel and other countries, and received a great deal of media attention and an outstanding amount of personal reactions from viewers.

Menachem Roth is working and living in Jerusalem with his partner and their two Yiddish-speaking daughters. He is a cinema teacher at the Charles E. Smith Jerusalem High School of Arts and teaches at the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design. His next project depicts the life of a Forced-Ultra-Orthodox group (i.e. individuals who are unable to leave the Ultra-Orthodox society).

Roni Doron

Born in 1989, Kibbutz Ma’abarot. Graduated from the fine arts department of Bezalel Academy of Art and Design.

Working mainly with painting, printing, sculpting and installation. Settels mostly in the space between things, in the inconvenience that makes you feel. In the movement to release the neck that doesn’t really releases. Examining the borders of the mediums in aspiration to scratch also where there’s no bite. How to do so that everyone will feel that a sheet of paper isn’t flat.

Yasmin Caspin,

Born in 1988 at Kibbutz Ginegar

Graduate Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in 2016, currently living and working in Jerusalem.

Sculpture first of all, working in the range between craft to silversmiths, enjoying the most daily, one-time-use, lightweight materials.

I am interested in how climate, culture, and history resonate in daily life as if by accident. I believe that art allows us to experience duality in the world while letting our mind wander between the unexpected and the familiar, reminding us that we are human.
