Vered Sivan



Catalog # 12
Vered Sivan
"Nedunya"
2007
Spun Bronze Crochet
Size: 13"x15"
Estimated Value: $2000


About the art work:
Inventing a unique work technique, I manipulate a singular material and use a repetitive set of simple actions to create installations. Nedunya is an installation detail in which I spun Bronze fiber into yarn and then crochet it to create a mythological web.

About the Artist:
Vered Sivan (b.1978) is an installation artist who lives and works in New York. Her work investigates relationships between body and structure by altering space and redefining it. Sivan earned her BFA from Tel Aviv University Israel 2004, and MFA from School of Visual Arts 2010 . Immigrating to NY five years ago, Sivan participated in residency programs and continued to exhibit extensively both locally and internationally. 



Vered Nissim

Catalog # 24
Vered Nissim
Untitled, (from the series Desert Within a Town) 2010
Edition 1/4
21x23 cm
Mixed media

About the artwork:
Based on frames from a the movie I created titled "A Desert within a City"
The movie tells the story of parents who keep carrying their children in their lives beyond their capacity, struggling in the life of a blue-collar-class, never knowing what the future holds.
The desert within the city – the wide open space becomes the home space, where the past, the present and the future, the wishes, desires, competing and parental devotion are being discussed.
The triangle structure of the triad discovers a circle of life at its inception.
About the artist:
Midrasha Art School graduate 0f 2006. My work explores my identity, gender and social status through the private setting of my home, family and private life. The materials I use draw from my personal biography, which I combine with motifs from fairytales and fantasy. The contrast between the two demonstrates how fairytales are manifested in my own life, as a micro reflecting the macro. The works relate to both extremes of the individual on the one hand and the general on the other, and raise questions about the correlation between culture and its norms to one's individual life, between art's aesthetic distance and the reality which it represents.

Tami Ramot
Untitled 2010
50x70 cm
Mixed media

About the artwork:
While reading the story, in my imagination I saw angels surfing in the air...looking for the person who needs them to surround him and help explore the light

About the artist:
I’m doing quite well with brushes of my imagination… I paint whatever I
see in me.
Art has always occupied a significant place in my life. The creative process is a fusion of the life experience which combines emotional content, observation, technical skill, exploration, sadness and humor.

For me, painting is a passion. I love to create surfaces that are visually intriguing and mysterious, with expressive colors and shapes.
I use acrylic and oil chalks, pencils and charcoal.
By building up layers of paint and collage, the paintings become infused with a cultural history, at the same time allowing the viewer to create a personal history.

This series of painting reveals the introspective part of my personality. Each one is inspired by its collaged elements and the layers from my past and present. I hope that they reflect my desire to paint and my intense need to create work that expresses my desire.

About the artwork:
These works are an infusion, a hybrid of absurdities. Drawing on the style and subject matter of the Hudson River School, particularly Thomas Cole’s reverent paeans to nature and Albert Bierstadt’s awestruck visions of the sublime in the American West, these works capture the grandeur of nature. Despite acquiring a newly cultured look, these landscapes, made with sincerity and attention, are transformed into a juxtaposition of nature and its human invaders, who appear in the guise of tourists or adventure seekers. The contrast between these contemporary characters and their stylized environment is abrupt and, despite their small scale, they are an almost offensively inadequate substitute for the deities or characters of noble bearing that filled their place in the painting of the past centuries. The elements populating these series of paintings of the American West are small but obnoxious, infesting nature more so than enjoying its restorative powers. While Cole and his colleagues ascribed spiritual qualities to the environment, and warned of the destruction being caused by expansion, here the damage has been done. Lakes are littered with junked cars and pristine vistas blighted by tightropes, rickety bridges and other evidence of human interlopers. Still, what these visitors leave are their traces; they have not overwhelmed the environment and its magical possibilities.
