Featuring: Gili Avissar, Zohar Gotesman, Ben Hagari, Gal Weinstein, Shahar Yahalom, Chen Cohen, Lihi Turjeman

New Materials brings together seven Israeli artists who have chosen to cultivate a long-standing relationship with a central working materialโ€”one that is not merely present in their work, but acts as an active, guiding force. Through this encounter, they aim to both illuminate and reawaken the act of working with matter, proposing a model of ongoing intimate dialogue between the artistโ€™s body and the medium with which they engage. Each artist in the exhibition works with a different material spectrum, yet all share a fundamental understanding: material has its own properties, temperament, and will. They speak of a shared experienceโ€”of distilling the essence of their material, of touching the present as well as the space just beyond it.

The exhibitionโ€™s title, New Materials, invites us to look at matter with fresh eyes; to witness the artistsโ€™ return, time and again, to the same familiar materials in their studios, and through them, to uncover the primordial spark embedded in raw matter since the origin of time. Each day, the artists confront what is seemingly known, only to discover within it infinite forms and identities.

The works in the exhibition embrace both conceptual and physical layersโ€”drawing from personal and collective histories, from former identities, and from the constant renewal of the materials that compose them. Ceramic objects breaking forth from the two-dimensional faรงade of Shahar Yahalomโ€™s grandmotherโ€™s house fill the space with new life. On Gal Weinsteinโ€™s expansive surfaces, made of steel wool and cotton, faint traces appearโ€”reminders of a wind that once blew and will blow again. The tactile materials in Gili Avissarโ€™s work carry within them the material memory of previous pieces, while also asserting themselves as new and autonomous entities. Zohar Gotesmanโ€™s sculptural continuum echoes a historical sequence, striving for linearity and expressing a deep human desire to be part of an ongoing chain. In Lihi Turjemanโ€™s work, paint is spread and scattered across the canvas, giving rise to archetypal images that surface into being. Ben Hagariโ€™s search to understand the material from within leads to a full fusion with the clay. Chen Cohenโ€™s internal human metronome, operating through her own body, reminds herโ€”and usโ€”of the circular rhythm of heartbeat and world.

Through a sincere openness to listen to the source of material, through physical engagement with the body that carries it, and through a re-reading of the familiar, these artists offer themselvesโ€”and usโ€”a perspective that transcends the physical anchors of time and place.
