SADDO and AITCH

“Jonah”, a beautiful collaborative painting by Raul Oprea (SADDO) and his girlfriend, AITCH. I was lucky to see this piece in person, it’s right beside the Holon Design Museum, in Israel.

On our last day in Israel we had a tour of the newly opened Herta and Paul Amir Building at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art. It was designed by architecture firm Preston Scott Cohen, and it is astonishing.

This is some of the work Shony Rivnay was working on when I visited his live/work space in Tel Aviv last month. Amazing hand-painted missiles built out of ceramic and other materials.

One of the best meals I had in Israel was a lunch with Naama Steinbock and Idan Friedman (Reddish Studio). After the meal they gave me this beautiful handmade sculpture. It’s actually a creature from Jewish folklore called a Golem, and it’s made entirely of mud.
When I was in Tel Aviv a couple weeks ago, we visited the amazing Aqua Creations headquarters. Here they produce innovative light fixtures and furniture but also these incredible light sculptures.
