About the Artist:
Ruben Nutels
Painter and graphic designer
Born in Chile, 1952
Graduate of the Bezalel Academy
of Arts and Design
Works executed in acrylic, pencil, charcoal and ink on canvas.
Nutels’ art manifests tension between realism and its context
of surrealism, emotionality and impulse – the tension that arises between
reality and imagination, logic and fantasy.
The paintings are, accordingly, replete with corporeal imagery that is
remarkably palpable.
Ruben Nutels, an auto and motorcycle race enthusiast, designs
and builds cars, and seeks, in his drawings, movement and the beauty of
dynamism.
Ruben's book:
The artist created a book by binding together 75 x 70 cm.
Bristol sheets (75 x 140 cm. unfolded).
The book contains 80 spreads rendered in acrylic, pencil, charcoal and
ink. The works were painted in the
already-bound book, using both sides of the sheets.
Exhibitions:
Jerusalem Artists House
Kalisher, Tel Aviv
Khan Theater, Jerusalem
Nachshon Gallery
Ruben's accomplishments as a graphic designer include the
design of Israel’s 10 shekel and 2 shekel coins.
His skill as a designer of coins and medallions a modality
that is akin to sculpture has garnered him awards in Israel and abroad.
Tamar Yoav
Painter
Director of NutelStudio (graphic studio)
Born and raised in Tel Aviv
Graduate of the Hebrew University of
Jerusalem in literature and sociology
Works executed in acrylic, pencil,
charcoal and ink on canvas, and backed on silk paper. The paintings are characterized by a search
for interaction and contact between their intensity of color and shape in the
abstract, and their quasi-realistic execution.
Varda Genossar of the Artists Residence,
Herzliya:
“Tamar Yoav’s visual language is rich,
multi-layered and multihued, and the opulent textures of her colors, with their
great dynamism and momentum, imbue her canvases with subjects that speak of
“paucity,” distress and fracture. On the
large canvases body parts take on an imposing presence that leaves the viewer
disquieted. The tension that arises
between the chromatic/textural abundance and the subject matter is a
distinctive feature of the paintings.”
