Ido Bar-El, b. 1959. One of Israel's
greatest contemporary artists. He is a Tel Aviv
artist in his typical use of "poor materials."
Ido will paint on pieces of wood, plastic, automobile
hood, chunks of metal and boxes. He redeems
these objects with imagery ranging from Biblical
to Star wars. Recently he used aluminum street
signs to create a famous series of paintings.
In it he was commenting subtly on the loss of
public authority and the movement from public
to artistic authority. One of the most thoughtful
and intellectual of Israeli artists, Ido is
much respected by his peers.
