About Ishai Rimmer

 
 
  • Biography
    Born in Israel
    Live and Work in London, UK
    BFA at Goldsmiths College, MA at the Slade School of Art, UCL.
    Exhibited extensively in the UK with works in private and corporate collections.

    In my work I try to bridge the gap between what is visible in the world, what is comprehensible by the mind and what is experienced by the soul. I observe the world around me, translating it to paint to capture new times, places and feelings. I take images of my banal life, build them into stories and present them as important. The way those situations are painted transform everyday images into broken narratives, into unclear statements. This lack of clarity, this doubt, is the ambiguous point I find most fascinating in the human condition, and it is only from this personal point that I can try to say something real.
