Orit Fuchs lives and works in Tel Aviv, where she creates across a full range of mediums, like sculpture, painting, typography, video, illustration, knitting, photography and more. During her career, Orit worked as an art director in the leading advertising agencies in Israel.
With an unquenchable desire to create, Orit established a successful brand for children's clothing and bags that were sold in high-end boutiques and quickly evolved into a high brand for girls’ fashion in Israel and abroad.
With three kids at home and a career in advertising and fashion behind her and her quest and thirst for in-depth knowledge on art led her to study at Bezalel Academy of Arts & Design.
Orit grew and matured, as she felt ready to open up to the world.
Versatility and creativity definitely define Orit Fuchs.
Orit's artwork takes place inside a studio in a big industrial building on the south side of the city, an area where she often finds inspiration at every corner…from the carpentry to light industry, machinery and garbage – everything is part of the story. Abandoned objects are gathered from the streets and reconnected to create colorful works with new lives. Bright outstanding colors define her work, momentarily lapse of reality into an imaginary world. This process allows her spontaneity and intensity, to make conscious and unconscious choices throughout the work.
Orit's art is inspired by life's little moments that often hit us when we least expect it. The outcome could be anything, art created by a newly discovered freedom, unhindered by any particular artistic language or style. Strong women are often the subject of her work, sensitive, independent and replete with humor – yet ever awakening and biting with vitality.
