Amit Bar - In 1950 I was born in Kibbutz Kfar Hamaccabi, Israel, where I lived until 1988. As a kibbutz-member I was not able to take a complete study at an art-college. Therefore I followed evening-lessons drawing for many years. In 1984 I finally got the permission to study creative art at the university. My study at the university of Haifa was combined with Comparative Literature and took three years. I have learned there a lot about various forms of Creative Art. As follows, I decided to dedicate my interest on photography. My final project was children photography. Since 1988 I live in Doetinchem, The Netherlands, and work as a freelance-photographer and painter. In my commercial work I take photographs for a stock agency and make commissioned work. Wishing to combine my photography with drawing and painting, I began to mix them in my artistic work. It began in 1992 with photo collages and took another form in 1996 with body-paintings. Thank you very much for your visit. I wish you lots of pleasure on my gallery and my site, at www.amitbar.com! Amit Bar....

I focus on those materials because those are reused recycling thing that shouldnt go to waist. I in the near future will experiment with other things like wood, screws, wall pins, and more. My sculptures majority are about animals. I love animals because theyre smart and independent.they are born knowing how to walk and what theyre able to eat. They care for eachothere, some more than others, but to be compleatly real we are the worst animals of them all. Im absolutely infuriated and hurt because the abuse and meaningless killing, the torture in factory farming and in animal experiment testing. People avoid these things because they only think of themselves and how they dont wanna get hurt from what they bad thing they see instead of helping. Wake up and see the real ...
