Joel Amit
Israeli artist Joel Amit mines construction site waste for his work, repurposing and hand-painting materials such as steel, concrete and wood to bring new life to scraps that would otherwise be thrown away. Bright colors and dynamic patterns in his sculptures, which frequently draw on nature, introduce lively energy to fundamental shapes — drawing in viewers and serving as a focal point in any space.
Born in Jerusalem, Amit developed a passion for painting and sculpting when he was quite young. He graduated with honors from the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in his hometown. After completing his studies, he moved to the Negev desert.
Amit lived for five years in the Negev, designing and building villages. This period of time spent in the desert, which afforded him the opportunity to explore the possibilities of using discarded construction materials to make art, greatly informed his style.
While each one of his wall sculptures and other pieces is highly imaginative, Amit doesn't leave anything to chance when creating his art. He sketches each creation before he begins work, painstakingly detailing the position of how every component might fit into the larger work, down to the smallest element. He cuts and shapes every scrap to exact specifications before applying it to a base made of wood — his efforts go toward presenting the illusion of movement, which is especially apparent in wall sculptures that feature the silhouettes of birds, butterflies or sun rays.
Today Joel Amit works and lives in Israel.

- protect me from what I want - Contemporary Relief WallpieceLocated in Wien, WienVeronika Suschnig protect me from what I want, 2021 "Drugtales" Series Lacquer, synthetic resin on blister, metal, wood, imitation leather, wire 100 x 70 cm Unique Healing and the traces of wounds are repeated themes in Veronika Suschnig's work, which encourages more attention in juxtaposition and togetherness. This is evident not only in the "Soft Skills" series, but also in the "Pain Poems" and "Pain Patterns" — notes glued into rose thorns — or in the "Drugtales", set pieces of text fragments drawn on empty tablet cases. “Turn soft and lovely anytime you have the chance”, as Jenny Holzer says. The three-dimensional and expansive thinking that is essential in all of Suschnig's work series also emerged from her preoccupation with architecture. Born in 1989 in Korneuburg near Vienna, Veronika Suschnig not only studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna with Daniel Richter, but also completed a degree in architecture. Currently, after a brief apprenticeship with Heimo Zobernig...Category
