Abraham Kritzman

Abraham Kritzman

Abraham Kritzman’s multidisciplinary practice is centred upon an immersive language expressed through painting, sculpture, and printmaking. He manipulates and layers elements inspired by walking journeys undertaken in specific locations around the world. Mythical narratives, human imagery, architecture, and landscape are merged together, creating works characterised by their density and movement. Some pieces are flat and detailed, while others are thick and monochrome. They reflect heavily on the merging of past and present in their materials, forms, and the images they sometimes carry.

The artist lives and works between Israel and London. Kritzman studied at the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design followed by an MA in Painting from the Royal College of Art in 2014, where he won the Clore Prize and Scholarship, and the Villiers David Travel Award in 2013. His work is in the permanent collections of the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, Herzliya Museum of Contemporary Art, and the Clore Duffield Foundation. The artist was awarded The Minister of Culture Prize for Emerging Artists and the Hermann Struck Prize.

“Through my creative process, I want things to show up. Every studio session I want to encounter something…what drives me is my wish to be surprised by my works each time anew”
