Curiosity is the main driving force of the art of Tel Aviv artist Shulamit Kopf. Kopf stretches the concept of canvas as far as she can with experimentation. She recently began a new series based on a technique she developed where she makes parts of a standard canvas translucent allowing LED lighting to flood it from behind providing a contrast to the painted canvas made luminous.

 

She began her former series, “Wormhole” two years ago with unstretched canvasses, two meters long by one meter wide. She rendered thin black ink lines that curve, meander, turn a corner, meet, veer away, and at times intersect. Knowing how way leads on to way and since lines can fold back in time and space, she began folding the canvases, creating new intersections for the lines to meet, wormholes of the sort. At first, the folds were pressed flat but over time the folded canvasses began amassing volume turning into a wall sculpture.

In addition to a BA degree in philosophy and an MA in English literature, Shulamit Kopf completed a BA in Art History at Tel Aviv University. She has studied with painter Ronit Binder and at the Hatachana Studio in Tel Aviv with Aram Gershuni, Ilya Geftner, and Ran Tenenbaum. She has studied landscape painting with American artist Lois Griffel, former director of the Cape Cod School of Art.

 

She has held solo exhibitions in Tel Aviv, Krakow, and Paris and has participated in the 2022 Venice Biennale.
