On March 23, Nir Almog, a 22-year-old student in our Faculties of Biomedical Engineering and Physics, showcased his first solo art exhibition, entitled \u201cWhat if Science Were to Burst Through the Door?\u201d Bursting with colors and eye-catching shapes, his paintings are full of life, expressing the \u201csense of marvel\u201d he draws from his studies. \u201cIn every exercise and lecture, the challenge and the thoughts evoke a wave of wonder in me, which I can only fully express through painting.,\u201d said Almog.<\/p>\n
Almog has been painting for as long as he can remember and has produced nearly 100 works of art. He sees no conflict between science and art. In fact, he observes that the opposite is true. People continually ask how come an artist is studying science at the Technion, he tells, and answers that his art is an expression of his love for science, while simultaneously providing a relief from its rigid confines. . The expression of joy is clear to see in his artwork \u2013 psychedelic, bold, with large brushstrokes, and bursting with life and color \u2013 his paintings lift the spirits.<\/p>\n Painting helps him unwind, he said, and gives him space to be less careful, to be unafraid of making mistakes. It helps him rely on his intuition and to think freely. \u201cWhen we approach a complex experiment or exercise, we plan routes and destinations, armed with hypotheses and obeying the rules,\u201d he said. \u201cArt does not work the same way \u2026 it simply enters \u2026 says what it wants to say and moves on.\u201d<\/p>\n This exhibition launches the Technion\u2019s “Spotlight on a Creative Student” series and invites interested students to apply for an exhibition to be presented in the Corridor Gallery.<\/p>\n The exhibition is on display at the Ullmann Building.<\/p>\n Curator: Valeria Geselev<\/p>\n Design: Ofri Fortis and Hagar Messer<\/p>\n Printing: Studio Kaleidoscope, Line Cut<\/p>\n Framing: Aman Art<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On March 23, Nir Almog, a 22-year-old student in our Faculties of Biomedical Engineering and Physics, showcased his first solo art exhibition, entitled \u201cWhat if Science Were to Burst Through the Door?\u201d Bursting with colors and eye-catching shapes, his paintings are full of life, expressing the \u201csense of marvel\u201d he draws from his studies. \u201cIn… Continue Reading Where Science and Art Meet<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-84910","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n<\/a><\/p>\n
