Description
This print was produced from a graphite, lnk, gouach and black chalk drawing on paper. It is possible to view the drawing itself upon request. As the drawing itself is much larger and produced on a fragile support, this print was made. The original drawing is an invention based on clay sketches.
The image together with other prints on this page are studies for future compositions in clay and bronze. They are all drawn first with traditional drawing materials, e.g graphic, charcoal, black chalk as well as India ink and sepia. Some of them are later reworked with watercolor and gouache.
The original image was scanned and printed with black toner ink on cotton rag paper. Once a satisfactory print is made, the whole composition is once more reworked using the same materials applied on the original drawing.
"This artwork presents a striking interplay of light and shadow, rendered through an abstract representation of the human form. The piece features a solitary figure, whose contours are defined by bold, contrasting strokes in black and brown hues. The figure, caught in a dynamic pose, seems to be in motion or in the throes of deep emotion, adding a sense of drama and tension to the composition. The background, a textured expanse of soft, neutral tones, enhances the figure’s prominence, creating a stark contrast that draws the viewer’s eye toward the central theme of the artwork. The artist employs a technique reminiscent of monotype printmaking, where the rough, unrefined texture adds depth and an almost tactile quality to the image. This juxtaposition between the smooth, flowing lines of the figure and the rough, chaotic background evokes a sense of struggle and resilience. The piece stands out for its expressive use of form and texture, compelling viewers to ponder the emotional narrative embodied within its borders."

Presentation
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.
