Sara Benninga

B. 1983

Sara Benninga’s paintings delve into the intricacies of visual perception and narrative creation. Her art often seeks to liberate past narratives from art history, particularly those related to women, allowing them to engage in their own pleasure and agency.

Benninga’s works blend figures from art history, observation, and memory, questioning traditional notions of foreground and background. By combining painting and drawing techniques, she creates a layered illusion that challenges viewers’ perceptions and invites them to reconsider historical contexts.

Elad Kopler

B. 1974

Elad Kopler is an abstract painter renowned for his large-scale works that masterfully combine vibrant color combinations and dynamic brushstrokes.

His early career focused on apocalyptic landscape paintings structured around a grid. Today, Kopler’s compositions maintain an internal grid and frame, providing a sense of balance and stability. However, this order is contrasted by energetic brushstrokes and layered drips of color, introducing a sense of chaos.

The interplay of these elements results in a strong, textured visual impact, making his art both compelling and evocative.

Amir Tomashov

B. 1978

Former architect Amir Tomashov brings a unique perspective to his art, which is heavily influenced by the themes of construction and destruction.

Specializing in collages, paper cuts, and precise drawings, Tomashov views the urban landscape as a constantly evolving entity, perpetually in a state of renewal and decay. His work reflects this dynamic, exploring the transient nature of cities and the continuous process of rebuilding that defines urban life.

Through his meticulous and thoughtful approach, Tomashov captures the fluidity and resilience of the urban environment.
