Artist Igal Rozenblatt, a graduate of photography studies at the Camera Obscura in Tel Aviv and the Design Academy in Eindhoven, Netherlands ― creates sculptures and lighting fixtures from recycled materials. For years, he was involved in designing lighting fixtures from recycled materials, but the need to meet strict standards caused him to change direction to create something a little different. Today, he sculpts mainly from stainless steel, the raw materials for which are found in every home and kitchen and are familiar to everyone.
In Igal’s studio in Tzurit, familiar everyday objects ― cutlery, kettles, salt shakers, and other metal utensils ― that were on their way to the trash come to life and become new works of art. Each sculpture is born from the unique shape of the original object, and combines design and emotional value with a story of sustainability and innovation. The works, in a variety of sizes and shapes, have been exhibited at various exhibitions and festivals across the country, including the Jerusalem Light Festival, the Calcalist Sustainability Conference, and art galleries.
The studio, located in Igal’s home, is surrounded by a pastoral landscape in the Galilee and specializes in sculpting one-of-a-kind works from kitchen utensils and reused metal materials, sometimes combined with natural materials collected in various places.
Most of Igal’s works are scattered throughout his home and yard and are available for purchase.
Western Galilee Now is a registered non-profit grassroots organization (NGO) promoting awareness and appreciation for the region’s boutique wines, beers, food and produce, along with its cultural diversity, its historic traditions and the area’s scenic routes nestled between the mountains and the Mediterranean Sea acting as a Chamber of Commerce to boutique tourism operators in the region.
We expose the visitors to the unique heritage and hospitality through workshops, culinary events, art, music, guides tours, festivals and also through our Tourist Information Center in Akko, owned by JNF USA which we were chosen to operate since Jan. 2016.
Our vision is to develop local and foreign tourism based on close cooperation between all the interested parties in the region.
