Biography
Ohad Ben-Ayala, b.1981 .
Lives and works in his studio in Tel-Aviv.
The sculptures presented on this profile reflect a decade of exploring bronze and other non ferrous metals as sculptural materials.
All of the works shown here at the moment were roughed out and modeled first (from nature or an invention) using another material – mostly water based clay or soft bee-wax.
Either way, more than one aspect of each work was always left unfinished, so it could be later resolved in the final metal it was cast in, and thus giving the metal more meaning than just a casting material.
This method was meant to find some middle way between the desire to create a single, unique and individual art piece – and at the same time develop multiple other versions, with all the possibilities offered by casting and re-casting each sculpture in different materials.
Traditional methods of chasing and repousse were combined with electric and pneumatic grinding, polishing, welding and soldering.
Various bronze alloys, aluminum and sometimes brass were cast using both sand casting and lost wax casting methods. With the founder's role limited to pouring the molten metal - Each sculpture is resolved and finished by the artist's own hands.
