Attai Chen: In Between. The 2014 Andy Prize for Contemporary Art

In his work, Attai Chen (b. Jerusalem, 1979) preserves a sense of improvisation and process. The works executed for this exhibition, assemblages ranging between jewelry and wearable objects, connote stories saturated with humor The compositions, painted in graphite, pigments, glass colors and nail varnish, are created through cross-breeding of raw materials such as twigs, parts of toys, plastic and metal. Chen is a graduate of Bezalel School of Arts and Design, Jerusalem and the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich. Tel Aviv Museum of Art Site 

These are a few photos that I took at the exhibition described above. The objects presented, made of non precious materials, were very unique.  They make a very different statement than the common gold –gemstone jewelry. Their value is derived solely from their artistry.
