A new solo exhibition and an extensive catalogue to gallery artist Ron Amir
Hezi Cohen Gallery congratulates artist Rami Maymon on receiving the Minister of Culture and Sport’s Visual Art Award for 2015.
Prize committee considerations: His extensive and cohesive work explores issues regarding the essence of the photographic medium, and the changing status of the photographic image, while exposing the production and power mechanisms dominating photography in particular, as well as the wider field of art and culture
His work is characterized by aesthetical sensuality and meticulous treatment, and by integration of direct photography with material installations in space that include objects and architectural elements… so that space becomes an object.
