OMER GAASH 1983 Israel

Omer Ga’ash has a unique outlook on how the human body is perceived in a natural environment. His interest in graphic design guides this interesting perspective; allowing him to see the body as a shape, with all its curves, lines, edges, and symmetries. His work is beyond the glorification of the body. It’s not about that. It’s about the symbiosis of the body and the environment which surrounds it – a way of colliding the two, allowing them to complement each other, thus creating a metamorphosis of space and shapes. With a background in architecture, mapping and aerial photography analysis, as well as a deep passion for shapes and movement, Omer is able to see something which many of us miss: the way our bodies can be transformed into textures. By implementing his knowledge and personal experiences, Omer is able to convert his models into something much more than a nude human body. Allowing his mind to drift in search of repetition, improvisation, attraction, continuity, flow and scale, Omer sculpts the nude body into the space, creating a true piece of art which is both natural and infinite. www.aglutinart.blogspot.com
