The works of Harush Shlomo constantly interact with their settings, the perception of
all of his objects is dependent on the surrounding scenarios to a vast extent. The
metamorphosis of matter, the relationship with light, shape and movement metaphorically
reflects the singularity of the moment.
His favoured material - sheets of modest aluminium - enables him to work instinctively
and links his creations with the present whereas the archaic techniques he uses recall our
origins.
His work stems from a physical and instinctive need to tackle territories and dimensions
that are daunting for a single individal.
His cross- border talent leaves signs of his passage
throughout the world, takes cities as places to investigate and brings the interactive
relationship between his work and the surrounding environment into the present, recorded
by means of photographs and books. His sensitivity clashes with the basic |

execution: the purpose is not the function, but the
elimination of matter as such, letting the most profound essence of his work shine through,
in contrast with his past, spent in Israel, a border zone where life teaches you to expect the
unexpected, where peace and survival cannot be taken for granted.
In this contortion of
matter, this archaic way of creating, there is a beautiful dream of hope, which in the end
reveals a reality that is impalpable physically where metal becomes light and transparent
and everything is suffused by reflected light, until it discloses its purest and deepest
esthetic essence.
