Biography
Kritzman’s practice draws on site-based experiences shaped by culturally and historically layered landscapes. In the studio, these encounters are combined with personal events and reconfigured through abstraction, duplication, and fragmentation. Working across painting, printmaking, and sculpture, including ceramics, plaster, bronze, and wood, he develops a spatial, painterly language. His works range from dense, fresco-like surfaces to monochrome reliefs and object-like images, while his sculptures evoke archaeological remnants. Installed together, the works form constellations in which shifting perspectives create a tension between structure and chaos, creating a sense of discovery and perception that offers a delay, a shift in time.
Abraham Kritzman lives and works between Tel Aviv and London. He studied at Bezalel Academy of Art and Design and received an MA in Painting from the Royal College of Art in 2014. He is the recipient of the Clore Bezalel Scholarship, Villiers David Travel Award, Minister of Culture Prize, Hermann Struck Prize for Printmaking, and the Aileen Cooper Prize. His work has been exhibited in solo, duo and group shows internationally and have been collected by public institutions and private collections.
