Description

In the work presented, I attempted to revive the spirit of Bauhaus through three visual mediums: illustration, computer graphics, and architecture. Inspired by the multidisciplinary approach of the Bauhaus movement, which crossed boundaries between architecture, interior design, graphic design, furniture, and houseware, I chose to express its influence in three different forms, each drawing from the functional and aesthetic principles of the style. The work seeks to offer a contemporary interpretation of the values on which the Bauhaus movement is based, while maintaining the clean lines, precise engineering, and the aspiration to unite art, technology, and everyday life.

Rickey Benjamin, born in 1965, lives and creates in Israel. After military service (Nahal Corps), I went to New York, where I lived for 15 years. I studied art for 3 years at the League Students Art. While studying graphics, I worked in an advertising agency and did graphic design as a freelancer. After 15 years in New York, I lived in Brazil for two years, where I mainly worked in art. In 2001, I returned to Israel. Since then, I have been a graphic designer/video editor in the Department of Communication at the Weizmann Institute of Science.
