Moti’s month-long solo art exhibition will be featured on the gallery’s website, YouTube channel, and in the “Solo Art Series” Archive.

Moti's work will also be showcased on the gallery's YouTube channel, and promoted via an event postcard, award ribbon, and certificate.
The “Solo Art Series” highlights the work of established artists, who have a body of work to showcase, through a series of online monthly solo exhibitions. Artist participants were asked to submit the following 3 components for the “Solo Art Series” competition: 1. Their art. 2. Their artist biography. 3. Their artist statement. A careful evaluation of the submissions led to the selection of four artists for month-long solo shows, ensuring a diverse range of artistic styles and approaches would be featured.
Presented below are Moti's artist biography and statement, together with 15 of his recycled materials assemblage sculptures. We encourage you to peruse Moti's information and admire his art.
Artist Moti Bazak transforms discarded materials into evocative, often abstract works that reflect on the existential tensions of modern life. What others leave behind becomes his raw language—reassembled, “repaired,” and reimagined into new visual narratives.
Born in Ukraine and raised in Israel, Moti developed a distinctive self-taught approach rooted in the act of reclaiming and reshaping abandoned objects. This process—part restoration, part reinvention—remains central to his work today.
His art has been exhibited primarily across Europe and has received several awards. Moti currently lives and creates in Italy, continuing to explore the boundaries between material, memory, and meaning.
I was still a child when I had the unsettling realization—that something in the world was not quite right; that things, somehow, needed to be mended. Years later, this quiet awareness continues to guide my work.
In my art, I return to that impulse to “fix” by gathering discarded fragments of wood, metal, and paper—materials that have reached the end of their intended lives, abandoned and forgotten. Each fragment carries its own morphology and concealed presence; its colors, textures, scars, and abrasions speak softly of a past existence.
At a certain moment, these disparate elements—once unrelated—are brought together, displaced from their original context, and allowed to converge into a new form. Within this transformation, they begin a kind of afterlife, reassembled into a work that holds both memory and renewal.
This act of mending and reimagining is, for me, deeply grounding. It offers a sense of quiet restoration—one that I hope resonates beyond the work itself and reaches those who encounter it.
