Harush Shlomo
The metaphysical objects by Harush Shlomo
Harush Shlomo’s works are standing, swimming, divided or reclined meta-phors.
Depending on the context, the artist born in 1961 in Jerusalem lets himself be inspired by his surroundings.
 
 
 
 
 
The impressions he gathers are turned into objects preferably made of aluminium.
Design functionality is not his main focus.
As an artist Harush Shlomo seeks out something that is different.
As a trained sculptor, photographer and painter he discusses conventional ways of seeing things and carves out the Anima, the soul of a piece of furniture. In this sense Shlomo’s works are sculpture, furniture, art installation and a system of references all at once.
But above all his works are hybrids, oscillating between self sufficient art works and familiar furniture.

His “Definition of Density chair” chair gives you the impression of sitting on an over-sized piece of crumpled chocolate wrapping paper. The encounter with his work is initially marked by incertitude. One asks one’s self if one may sit down at all, how the individual experience of
sitting will feel and what impressions will arise?
With his objects the multi-talent, who lives alternately in New York City, Milan and Tel Aviv, brings to mind the collective consciousness and refers to history and experience.

In this sense the designs by Harush Shlomo are very expressive, even psychological. Sometimes one has the impression that his objects are screaming out, just like the figures on the canvases of the Irish painter Francis Bacon.
