Gallery Talk | Sculptor Reuven Israel discusses his exhibition Multipolarity
Composed of highly finished elements of various shapes, sizes and colors that are “skewered” onto metal rods, the sculptures in this show initially lure the viewer to ascribe to them a function or purpose. At second glance, however, we realize that these objects resist categorization, do not serve any familiar function and cannot be defined using existing vocabulary.
Reuven Israel holds both a BFA (2004) and an MFA (2007) from Bezalel Academy of Art and Design, Jerusalem. His solo exhibitions include: “Superpartners”,Tel Aviv Museum of Art (2011); “Fatima”, Braverman Gallery, Tel-Aviv (2010); “From Shapes to Forms”, Museo Civico Floriano Bodini, Gemonio (VA) (2010); “Range of Sorrow”, Montrasio Gallery, Milan (2009). Since 2012, he lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.
