Artis Ami Wallach, born in Kibbutz Mishmar Ha\u2019emek, is a photographer\/painter\u2014or rather, a painter\/photographer. \u201cI am not a photographer. I am a painter, and my brush is the camera, with which I don\u2019t document reality but take it and dress it differently.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ami Wallach uncovers entire worlds within the everyday sights surrounding him. The familiar kibbutz environment functions for him as a vast, ever-changing Rorschach blot, composed of countless tiny details that merge through the brush-camera into endless images, forming works painted\/photographed by an artist\u2019s hand on canvas.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Abandoned objects in a second-hand storage room, coffee residue left in crumpled paper cups, bags peeking out of a trash bin alongside a tree trunk, reflections of sunlight on a roof or floor, an overgrown orchard covered with netting, a red factory floor strewn with colorful scraps\u2014his immediate surroundings are the raw material for his art.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Through Wallach brush-camera, this raw material gains new life. He explains: \u201cI search for that \u2018something\u2019 that generates something different, and that is what I photograph.\u201d When Wallach discovers that \u201csomething,\u201d he observes it and captures it immediately with the iPhone camera that is always with him. The photograph is taken with great sensitivity and sharpness that allow for close attention to detail.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The processing of the image is done on a computer using a simple Photoshop program. With a \u201czoom-in,\u201d he selects a segment, detaches it from its context, and then the magic begins. The color tones dissolve into each other, creating drips and fades through which Wallach contemplates the illusory nature of reality. The photographic images slowly dissipate and open themselves to continual transformation.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Wallach subjects the images to a process of analysis, in which forms open and merge with one another and with the empty space surrounding them. He does not view the object from one single point of view but instead breaks it down and presents multiple perspectives simultaneously. At the end of the process, that \u201csomething\u201d emerges\u2014composed of shapes, symbols, and colors whose internal relationships create a compositional balance that forms a complete whole.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

At first glance, his works appear abstract, yet upon deeper viewing, human ideas and narrative images become apparent, echoing visual languages that move across time\u2014from cave paintings to the twentieth century and the works of Paul Klee. As he says: \u201cI take reality and give it a different attire.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ami Wallach\u2019s art challenges familiar perception, capturing the invisible and granting the photographed images a subtle, elusive artistic quality that only an artist\u2019s eye can perceive. The photographs\/paintings in the exhibition Dreamcatcher<\/em> open a door to a world and an interpretation different from what the eye initially sees, allowing what we thought we saw to transform.<\/p>\n
