Exhibition 2014

Opening night of the 2014 exhibition

Gallery of paintings and sculptures of 2014 workshop students

A magical and unique atmosphere accompanies the visitor for the first time in Alexander Charkov's spacious studio located in an urban shelter in the center of Givatayim. This center for art studies is currently celebrating a decade of its existence and presents a fine achievement of hundreds of students, who were lucky enough to be introduced to the ways of the art world there for the first time. The pulsating figure of Alexander Cherkov, artist and teacher, founder of the art studio, looms from all sides and from every corner of this classic atelier. A random visit in the morning brought me together with a group of students in a figurative sculpture class. Each of them was engrossed in his corner, next to his private sculpture stand, all of them were busy sculpting a human figure, with Cherkov moving from one to the other, advising, assisting, teaching and exuding an almost fatherly love for each of his students. From conversations I had with the people of the workshop, I immediately realized that this is not a formal place for studying painting and sculpture, but a human place, where creative values ​​and professional technical means are passed on to the participants with the aim of helping to promote their natural and personal talent. The participants of the workshops testify to exciting personal experiences that changed their lives during their studies in the workshops. The current exhibition at the Givatayim Theater reveals the works of approximately eighty graduates and students at the center. The exhibition provides a glimpse into the students' world and the unique relationship created between them and their teacher.
