“The Reincarnation of an Object” ― Igal Rozenblatt Studio for Artistic Sculpture from Old Metal Objects, Tzurit
The studio will be open for visits from 10 am – 4 pm.
Gallery Talk “The Reincarnation of an Object” & Demonstration Will Take Place at: 10 am & 12 pm
In Igal Rozenblatt’s studio, no object is definitively defined.
A pressure gauge can also be a person, a strainer is a turtle, and a fork becomes a migratory bird.
Rozenblatt creates a world of figures and creatures from the remains of local life — tools, metal parts, and everyday objects collected over the years. His works range from humor to poetry, from personal memory to local memory.
The more one observes the creatures he has created, the more one discovers a kind of emotional archaeology of the Western Galilee — evidence of daily life, of passing eras, and the beauty found precisely in objects that have worn away and been forgotten.
At a meeting as part of the Open Gallery Saturday, Igal will speak about the connection between material, memory, and place, and the way in which objects that have carried a previous life take on a new form and presence.
About the Artist & Creator:
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.
Igal’s 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 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.

Artist Igal Rozenblatt breathes new life into old metal utensils, out of a deep connection to the values of sustainability and recycling. After years of working in design and exhibitions in Israel and abroad, Igal continues to create out of a choice of authenticity and uniqueness ― the motto that guides him is to see in every pile of old utensils an opportunity for a creation full of life and joy.
