Orit Fuchs is a contemporary artist living and working today in Tel Aviv, Israel. She was born December 25, 1970 in Holon, Israel. She is a storyteller with a deep, pure and insatiable appetite for artistic self-expression. Her medium runs the gamut – sculpture, painting, typography, illustration, knitting, photography and more – whatever is best suited to bring her vision to life.
Having worked as an art director for some of Israel’s leading agencies, Orit Fuchs is intimately familiar with pop culture and gender roles in contemporary society, which serves as a natural backdrop for the unfolding of her imagination. Her understanding of the human psyche and her distinct talent result in moving works that are somewhere between fiction and reality, capturing glimpses from wondrous perspectives.
The central theme in Orit Fuchs’ art is the image of women and the various forms it can take in modern society. Her female characters are imbued with the full spectrum of human emotions and states of mind.
It’s creative journalism that uses a single portrait or illustrated moment to tell entire stories that so many women can identify with.
What’s particularly refreshing about Fuchs’ work is that she doesn’t try to glamorize women or turn them into banal objects of perfection. Instead, she tries to capture their drama, their sass, their inner confidence, their outspoken sex appeal, and their unadulterated charm. In this sense, her VIVID Series paintings are reminiscent of photographs of the elusive female soul. They feel like looking through the eyes of a poet in love, capturing all the spontaneous beauty and magic that flows from these women’s expressions.
Further evidence the unusual approach of Orit Fuchs is her series Short Stories, which depicts faceless women in trivial but wonderfully natural moments. Fuchs puts the viewer in a poetic mood and lets them fill in the blanks themselves. The colors she chooses evoke the emotions each image is meant to capture. This series seems personal and universal at the same time. At first glance it may seem extremely simple, but it is the kind of simplicity that borders on genius.
Orit Fuchs’ oil paintings definitely lean more toward “high”, somewhat trippy art, and that’s the category where Fuchs’ talent feels most eclectic and unpredictable. Nonetheless, they still exhibit her signature vibrancy and contemporary poignancy.
Fuchs’ sculptures are playful, charmingly innocent, and tastefully simple. They include female figures such as Sofia the Swimmer, Miss Kate, and The Capsule, as well as Pinocchio characters and sumo wrestlers who can breathe life into even the most somber surroundings. Whatever the individual figures, they are all whimsical works of art that embody the sense of wonder and joie de vivre that our inner child has retained.
Fuchs has made a name for herself on the international art scene, with highly acclaimed projects and exhibitions in major cities such as Toronto, New York, Miami, Los Angeles, Tokyo, Korea, and Taiwan.
Press reviews from Vogue Taiwan to Guardian or Time Out Magazine attest to her resounding international success.
