Gilad Benari: Photography

June 9, 2012 By Wendy Campbell

Israeli photographer (conceptual artist) Gilad Benari was born in Haifa, and had the usual Israeli upbringing – high school and then three years in the army. After the army, he became a copywriter, composing poetry and short stories on the side.  In 2002, Gilad discovered photography and began combining his writing with the photos he took trying to “explore photography in a conceptual sense, to help me express and complement my writing.”

Recently, Benari has created a series of presentations called “A Different Look At Israel” to tell the stories of Israel that many never hear about…”to tell the world Israel is not just war, conflicts, and political unbalance… Israel is a beautiful country with culture, people, and everyday life, a place like the one they would like to live in. The second reason is to simply use the world around me to share my different approach to photography as an art.”

Timur Tsaku: Painting

March 19, 2011 By Wendy Campbell

Timur Tsaku was born in 1971 in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Tsaku graduated from the Tashkent Art School in 1987, and attended the P. P. Benkov Art Institute, where he studied Scenic design. In 1991 he became an assistant to the head scenic designer of the Gorki Republican Arts Theater of Drama in Tashkent.  Later that year, he moved to Israel where he created a series of paintings called “The Republic of Israel”, which were shown at the Ashdod Museum. In 1991, Tsaku returned to his homeland and became an Instructor of painting and drawing at the Tashkent Academy of Art and Theater.  In 2001 he returned to Israel to start a new line of works taking its motif in the Old Testament. Tsaku’s paintings were acquired for the permanent collections of the Israel Museum and the President’s Residence, both in Jerusalem.

Tsaku’s paintings begin with abstracted backgrounds in acrylic. “When the surfaces of the panels are almost completed” Tsaku says, “these moody, abstracted landscapes reveal the figures that will encompass the majority of the image.” The artist uses a “triple zero” paint brush and magnifying glass to achieve a hyper-realistic, almost photographic representation of the people and animals depicted in his unique imagery.

Of her art, Shacham says “I paint human beings – I paint them skinless and naked; extremely vulnerable and sensitive. Choosing between love and dependence; loneliness and old-age; childhood and naivety. Imparting knowledge and consoling each other. Until, what is left of their relationship is almost, an immense painful sensitivity.”
