Rami Ater (Hebrew: רמי אטר, born 1960) is an Israeli multidisciplinary artist whose major body of work consists of abstract and symbolic iron sculpture.
Biography[edit]
Born and raised in Israel, Ater served in the Israeli Combat Engineering Corps. He completed his service in 1983, after the first Lebanon War[2], a war that has left its mark on him and on his art.
Art career[edit]
During his early days as an artist, he pursued photography and poetry, publishing his book "Words" with the Sa'ar publishing house. It was during that early period that he began experimenting with iron sculpture. After a break in the hi-tech industry, Ater apprenticed in Rami Rudich's workshop and from then on, sculpture has been his main vocation. In 2010, with the encouragement of artist Ziv Peleg, Ater began showing his work in solo and group exhibitions in Israel and abroad. Ater is a member of the Visual Artists Association and his work is shown in public spaces such as the Wolfson Museum in Jerusalem, the Hebrew University and Bet Gabriel near the Sea of Galilee[3]
Ater's work[edit]
Working mostly with iron with touches of brass, Ater developed his own technique in order to add layers and depth to his work. Ater's pieces which are characterized by the use of movement and space, use a language of blurred boundaries, leaving the spectator to interpret the dialogue between material and visible, between the lacking space and the lack within. Ater's expressive work is influenced by his own life and the people around him, both present and gone, outlining his sculptures, where the lack creates that which exists, and the mass shapes the enveloping surrounding[4] Ater's work relates to the 1920 Realistic Manifesto, by which "The realization of our perceptions of the world in the forms of space and time is the only aim of our pictorial and plastic art". Ater's constructivist pieces, much like well-known mythical statues throughout the history of sculpture, are entities of simple designed, objects in their own right, existing by their own laws and charged with meaning by the way they relate to the motifs of movement and time and the confrontation between these inner laws and the laws that exist outside them[5]
