The 2014 Rappaport Prize for an Established Israeli Artist
Ido Bar-El’s work is created with a commitment to painting and to examining its place in the field of contemporary art.
His experiments, comprising various materials, surfaces, acts and images, are made with a reference to European, American and Israeli modernism. Applying images, writing and erasure to traffic signs and furniture parts, Bar-El produces objects that act as capsules of visual-sensual delight and of flickering links to the historical and political-personal daily life.
