Loving Art Making Art

Open Studio Event in Tel Aviv, October 19-20

This past weekend I opened my studio in Tel Aviv to the public, as part of the annual LOVING ART MAKING ART festival. After the heavy rain flooded the streets, the sun came out and graced us with its warm rays, that entered the studio through the skylight. It was a pleasure to host two fellow artists - Dalia Zarhia and Nino Herman- and to welcome all the art enthusiasts that explored the studio, asked questions and commented with originality and wisdom.

Art Swagger, Los Angeles

Design, Art and giving Back, October 2018

In early October I was honored to be invited and exhibit a solo presentation of selected paintings at DLR Group’s space, as part of the Art Swagger event that took place in Downtown Los Angeles.

This philanthropic endeavour fuses design, art, and the act of giving back since 2011, and it has been drawing the Los Angeles architectural and design community closer through art and charity. Art Swagger is being supported by hundreds of professionals participating in this annual fundraiser, to help finance the Free Arts organization and their educational programs for underprivileged children.

DTLA design and architecture firms opened their studios to showcase work from a diverse group of artists, myself included.

Rotem Reshef on her New Art Series: 'Spectrum'

Rebecca Rosenberg, The Jewish Journal, July 2018

After receiving a prestigious scholarship from the America-Israel Cultural Foundation, Rotem Reshef honed her process even more by participating in a summer residency at the School of Visual Arts in New York.  As she began to explore the transition of the four seasons, she created “Time Traveler” for the University of La Verne in Southern California. In 2018 in Tel Aviv, she debuted “Intervals” which expanded her focus even further.  As we discussed the unique space at Soho House and the warm climate in LA, she created 22 works which feature gradients of cold, warm, and hot.  Reshef’s newest series, “Spectrum“, was installed at Soho House West Hollywood on July 1 and will be on display through July 30, 2018 (by appointment only).

If you’re in Los Angeles this month, reach out to Kipton Cronkite, curator of the exhibition, and he’ll take you on a private tour or simply preview the works here.
