Orit Fuchs Paintings

  • Overview
    Fuchs's artworks are playful‭, ‬charmingly innocent‭, ‬and tastefully simplistic‭.

    Orit Fuchs is ‬a storyteller with a deep‭, and unquenchable appetite for artistic self-expression‭. ‬Fuchs is a multimedia artist familiar with ‬sculptures‭, ‬painting‭, ‬illustration‭, and ‬photography. 

     

    Fuchs has a firm grasp of pop culture and gender roles in contemporary society‭, ‬which serve as a natural backdrop against which her imagination unfurls‭. ‬Her artwork reveals a place somewhere between fiction and reality‭, ‬capturing glimpses of wondrous figures and forms.‬

     

    The most central theme in her art is the female image and the various forms it can take in modern society‭. ‬Her female characters‭ ‬are imbued with the full spectrum of human emotion and state of mind‭.‬

     

    What's particularly refreshing in Fuchs‭' ‬work is that they do not try to  glamorize women or turn them into mundane objects of perfection‭. ‬Instead‭, ‬she seeks to capture their drama‭, ‬sassiness‭, ‬inner confidence‭, ‬unapologetic sex appeal‭, ‬and unadulterated charm‭. ‬In that sense‭, ‬her paintings from the VIVID Series are reminiscent of photographs of the elusive female soul‭. ‬They feel like‭ ‬looking through the eyes of a poet in love‭, ‬capturing all the spontaneous beauty and magic streaming from those women's expressions‭. ‬

     

    Another testament to her unusual approach is Fuch's Short Stories Series‭, ‬depicting faceless women in trival‭, ‬yet beautifully natural moments‭. Viewers are put in a poetic frame of mind and lets them fill in the gaps for themselves‭. ‬Her choice of colors evokes the emotion each piece is intended to capture‭. ‬This series feels personal and universal at the same time‭. ‬

     

    Fuchs's sculptures are playful‭, ‬charmingly innocent‭, ‬and tastefully simplistic‭. ‬They include figures of women such as Sofia the‭ ‬Swimmer‭, ‬Miss Kate, and The Capsule‭, ‬as well as Pinocchio characters and sumo wrestlers, which can breathe life even to the gloomiest of environments‭. ‬Whatever the particular characters‭, ‬they are all quaint pieces of art that represent the sense of wonder and joy of life which our inner child has managed to hold onto‭.‬
