The sculptures of Itzik Benshalom reflect passion for life and relationships. Through this overview of the last 4 decades of the artist's work, a sense of discovery of the human experience becomes apparent. Varieties of connections made by the abstracted figures are shown through the use of interlocking soft and flowing forms juxtaposed with angular lines. How the figures are positioned in relation to each other helps to define the interaction. In some, a clear relationship is explored, while others remain more mysterious. About his work, Benshalom states, “My workflows, as life flows. I tell people not to think about my work. If they love it, just love it. That's what I do." — Itsik benSHalom
