About the Item
Gadi Fraiman (Israel, 1958-)
A figural metal sculpture depicting a rope with ascending angelic butterfly like creatures with a human or angel body and fluttering wings. This large metal sculpture is finished with a green and burgundy enamel patina and is hand signed "G. Fraiman".
Gadi Fraiman, Hebrew: גדי פריימן born November 25, 1958 is an Israeli sculptor who works mainly with bronze and stone. Fraiman is known for creating artworks that embody movement through the use of flowing lines. His work exhibits in galleries, exhibitions and public spaces around the globe.
Fraiman was born in Łódź, Poland to Itzhak a holocaust survivor and Anna. When Fraiman was eight years old, the family immigrated to Israel.
Fraiman’s interest in making things with his hands began at a young age. At the age of 24, Fraiman became a member of Kibbutz Mishmar David. Thereupon he married Flora. He worked as a vineyard farmer growing grapes for wine.
In 1982, Fraiman began making bronze and stone works in a deserted warehouse in the kibbutz. In 1995, he built a larger studio at a top of the hill on the outskirts of the kibbutz: an ancient building, surrounded by a garden and in the midst of nature, he opened a gallery there for display of his works. In 2002 Fraiman founded a school for sculpting in bronze and stone in his studio where he hosts sculpting classes to people of all ages and levels of experience.
He is a well known Israeli contemporary artist he has been sold in gallery shows with Dudu David Gerstein, Calman Shemi, Isaac Maimon, Isaac Kahn, David Schluss, Niso Maman and Ron Agam.
Fraiman is known for the energetic, flowing lines in his sculptures that create a sense of movement. Often the works reflect a sense of melody, as well as reflecting a long, enduring process. Fraiman’s main ethos is the uncompromising nature of his material choice and work process. Fraiman mainly works in three types of materials: stone, bronze and colored enameled bronze. Each type of medium requires a different work process as well as its own way of thinking.
Fraiman expanded to working in bronze after several years of sculpting in stone and the works come to life by adding material into three-dimensional space.
According to its subject matter and form, Fraiman chooses to paint some of his bronze sculptures. His subject matter is often personal, reflecting on timeless issues of beauty, aesthetics and human nature, rather than commenting on current issues of the outside world.

The artist Gadi Fraiman spent much of his life as a farmer working in the foothills of Jerusalem. Born in Poland to Holocaust survivors, he came to Israel with his family at eight years old. As a child, Fraiman has said, he turned to art as a form of daydreaming, drawing scenes from his imagination, to escape the inherited trauma of his family’s experience. Of meager financial means, in his early 20s, Fraiman began working as a farmer at Kibbutz Mishmar David, a collective commune, learning patience and reverence for nature. Despite his knack for farming, Fraiman desired a more expressive outlet and after finding rusty tools in a warehouse on the Kibbutz, Fraiman began to sculpt stones in the evenings and in his free time. This continued for years, with the artist developing his knowledge and expanding his skills to lost wax casting, until, at the age of 40, Fraiman committed himself entirely to his art. Now in his 60s, Fraiman is still busy making his lyrical artworks, and recently began a “Masks” series that hints and the history of the stage. Gadi sculpts in Stone and Bronze.

View AllLarge Mario Almaguer Cuban Art Welded Painted Steel Abstract Sculpture Modernism
Located in Surfside, FL
Mario Almaguer (b. Marianao, Cuba, 1955) He moved to the U.S. in 1994 to Miami where since has been living and working. Essentially self-taught, he embraced sculpture as his mean for expression. Without any kind of formal academic education or training in the arts, perseverance and praxis made him an artist. His work has been influenced by cuban master Agustin Cardenas and british Henry Moore. In his early years until 1994 he produced a large amount of small and medium scale wooden sculptures. From 1994 to the present, Almaguer creates and produces steel sculptures. It's with his works on steel where he encounters a strong expression with a striking liberty hard to deliver in wood. His monumental sculptures were recently exhibited at Miami Dade...

Rare Aharon Bezalel Israeli Gilt Modernist Bronze Sculpture Suite
By Aharon Bezalel
Located in Surfside, FL
The width dimensions are variable. the tallest height is 11.5 inches. Family group. A suite of three bronze sculptures.
Aharon Bezalel (born Afghanistan 1926) Born in Afghanistan in 1926 and immigrated to Israel at an early age. As a youth was engaged as a silversmith and craftsman, and was a student of the sculptor Zev Ben-Zvi from whom he absorbed the basic concepts of classic and modernist art and interpreted, according to them, ideas based on ancient Hebrew sources.
Aharon Bezalel works and resides in Jerusalem, he taught art for many years.
“I saw myself as part of this region. I wanted to find the contact between my art and my surroundings. Those were the first years of Jean Piro’s excavations at the Beer-Sheba mound. They found there, for example, the Canaanite figurines that I especially liked and that were an element that connected me with the past and with this place.” “…a seed and sperm or male and female. These continue life. The singular, the individual alone, cannot exist; I learned this from my father who dabbled with the Kabbalah.”
(Aharon Bezalel, excerpt from an interview with David Gerstein)
“The singular in Aharon Bezalel’s work is always potentially a couple if not a threesome[…] the one is also the many: when the individual is revealed within the group he will always seek a huddling, a clinging together.
The principle of modular construction is required by this perception of unity and multiplicity, as modular construction in his work is an act of conception or defense.
Two poles of unity, potentially alone, exist in A. Bezalel’s world: From a formal, sculptural sense these are the sphere and pillar, metaphorically these are the female in the final stages of pregnancy and the solitary male individual. Sphere-seed-woman; Pillar-strand-man. The disproportional, small heads in A. Bezalel’s figures leave humankind in it’s primal physical capacity. The woman as a pregnancy or hips, the man as an aggressive or defensive force, the elongated chest serves as a phallus and weapon simultaneously.
(Gideon Ofrat)
