Acrylic Paintings by the Israeli artist RONEN VERCHIK

Ronen Verchik was born in 1961 in Tel Aviv. At an early age he developed an appreciation for art from his father, a sculptor and art collector. As a young man, his natural ability for painting began to show. Later, in his twenties, he met Alex Perez, one of the most well known artists in Israel.

Seeing an extraordinary talent, Perez recruited Verchik for his workshop, where he studied for four years. In this class he learned many techniques. During the same period, he studied sculpture with sculptor Nahom Inbar in Tel Aviv.

While developing his technique, he was also searching for ways to express himself artistically. In 1988 Verchik's painting technique changed, he began painting more freely and the texture in his paintings became richer and more significant as a result. In Verchik's paintings you can feel the texture of the paint on the surface, giving it more depth and character.

The artist has shown his work in several exhibitions in Tel Aviv, Rishon le Zion, and the U.S.A. He moved out of the city to a rural area in order to be close to nature, as he says, "to absorb energy from the environment". He lived for many years in Nehora village south of Tel Aviv where he taught painting and sculpture in his private studio, in the regional school, and in the settlements in the area. He is currently living in the United States with his wife and two children.
