Dive Into the Unique World of Ohad Elbaz at His First Exhibition 'ELEMENTS'

Experience the Essence of Nature through OHAD ELBAZ's 'ELEMENTS'

From April 18, 2026, tHE GALLERY OMOTESANDO will host the inaugural exhibition of talented artist Ohad Elbaz titled 'ELEMENTS'. This showcase marks a significant milestone in Elbaz's career, inviting art enthusiasts and the general public alike to appreciate his innovative take on nature's fundamental forms.

Artist Statement

Ohad Elbaz began his creative journey in 2006, driven by an innate desire to find the perfect fit and specific designs that seemed elusive. His approach to art has always prioritized functionality and practicality, which has shaped his artistic philosophy and outputs. Initially, art for him was not merely about creation; it was about bringing his visionary objects to life within physical spaces or offering cherished gifts to beloved individuals.

Years passed, and by 2016, Elbaz felt it was time to challenge himself with the concept of 'art for art's sake'. This led to the creation of the 'ELEMENTS' series, a collection that propelled him into discovering his unique style and fostered a new vision for his artistic journey. Despite having no formal training in art, Elbaz's passion and relentless drive for self-challenge have guided his explorations in art, with influences drawn from Polynesian and ancient Norse motifs. Today, he continues to experiment predominantly with wood, leather, acrylic, and aluminum.

What to Expect at 'ELEMENTS'

The exhibition 'ELEMENTS' is a reflection of Elbaz's philosophy that emphasizes the beauty found in nature's essential forms: fire, water, earth, and air. The artist invites visitors to step into a realm that ignites the imagination, capturing the essence of 'shape', 'movement', and 'style' through minimalist elegance. Each piece exemplifies flowing lines, graceful curves, and the inherent beauty of wood.

The craftsmanship in each creation showcases the intricate patterns of nature's wood grain, bringing warmth and a tactile experience that photographs might fail to convey. Interestingly, some might describe these pieces as computer-generated art at first glance due to their refined aesthetic, but up close, the authenticity and organic qualities of the materials shine through. Ultimately, Elbaz aims to let the beauty of his work speak for itself without overthinking.
