Benyamin Reich
Benyamin Reich (1976, Bnei Brak) is a multimedia artist whose works deal with identity and gender paradigms. Born into a Hassidic family, Reich left the Orthodox community at age sixteen to dedicate his life to art. He studied at the Musrara School of Photography in Jerusalem, the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, and the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design.
Reich's work expands the boundaries between cultures and religions into a universal humanity and beauty. He seeks sparks of holiness in secularized modernity and the human condition. His aesthetic mission explores conflicts and similarities between the Western world and traditional cultures, drawing inspiration from Renaissance humanism and Romanticism. In his portraits, landscapes, and still lifes, Reich combines sensuality and spirituality, the sacred and the profane, nature and civilization. His art has been exhibited in various solo and group exhibitions across Europe.
