Galia Gluckman 

(b. 1973, Tel Aviv, Israel)

Galia Gluckman produces large-scale multi-faceted artworks in pigment ink on cotton paper and collage. Wide ranging in its hybrid of environmental and social references, her work draws upon contemporary notions of the passage of time, referencing the mixture of creative subcultures that ebb and flow through the limitless global community. The viewer is invited to consider the dialogue surrounding mass production versus the handcrafted, oscillate between an abstraction of nature and epic man made habitats and follow the artists’s reflections that address the tensions between modern day order and chaos in the world around us.  

Born in 1973, Gluckman first qualified as a fashion designer, operating in London and New York before returning to Fine Art. Having relocated to Cape Town in 2010, Gluckman has participated in a number of group and solo exhibitions both locally and internationally. Most recently  this has included a solo presentation at the Jewish Museum in Cape Town in 2013, Epidermis at Florentin 45, and Pixels at the Artist House both in Tel  Aviv in 2014 and presentations at the Cape Town Art Fair in 2013 and 2014. Her first two person exhibition at the Everard Read Gallery (in dialogue with the artist Penelope Stutterheime) debuted in  March 2015.

Her work has been featured in various Design and Art publications including Art South Africa, VISI, Elle Decoration, House and Leisure, House and Garden, as well as the Art Business News and Architectural Digest in the USA. She is represented in many private and corporate collections in Australia, Dubai, Israel, South Africa, Spain, the United Kingdom and USA.
