Grounds for Sculpture

As a young man, Itzik Benshalom established a foundry and specialized in the lost wax technique of metal casting. After fifteen years he started creating his own works. Benshalom's passion for life is reflected in the subject matter he realizes in his bronze sculptures. He often pairs figures--one male and one female--to portray relationships and human interaction. Benshalom's  Facing Couple  (right), an impressive example of abstracted human figures imbued with emotive undertones, will be installed by the lotus pond. This large-scale cast bronze is composed in a manner that is reminiscent of the volumetric, biomorphic works by Henry Moore.

Benshalom's sculptures are in private and corporate collections in Israel, Japan and England, as well as many in the United States. Some of the American corporate collections are Dell Corporation in Chicago, Tandem Industries in New York, and University Business Park in Austin. Works by this artist were recently exhibited in prominent galleries in cities in California, Louisiana, New Jersey, and New York, and internationally at venues in Austria, Israel, and Japan.
He is represented in the collection of the Boca Raton Museum of Art in Florida.
