The works of Irit Kalechman
are visual narratives, inventively conveying stories without
words. In many of her pieces she uses a variety of information
by creating a quilt-like border that frames her central
figure(s), using hierarchical balance and proportion to
translate importance while her details have been reduced
to somewhat simple shapes and areas. Using related colors,
style and theme she pulls each work together into a harmonious
structure expertly unified through consistent technique,
using firm outline and lack of color to lend further importance
to the subjects of her tales. Her color palette often emphasizes
soft blues, gold and pinks, enlivened with a splash of Valentine
red shedding a vital, passionate flavor.
Kalechman's more recent solo exhibitions
include Ne'eman Towers Tel Aviv, Ra'annana, Music &Arts
Ins., Aba Hushi Ins., Haifa, and Beit Gavriel Zemach. Collections
include Fondazione Vittorio Mazzuconni, Milano Italy, Museum
"Yad labanim", Petach, Tikva and Museum Florean
Romania.
