Ayelet Carmi, (Hebrew: אילת כרמי; born 21 July 1967) is an Israeli painter and installation artist.
Carmi was born in 1967 in Kibbutz Beit HaShita. She is a graduate of the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem. Her works are characterized by feminine figures in mythological settings, organic hybrids and evocative machinery. Based in traditional painterly technique, her works offer a complex take on the representational style of the Western tradition while opening up to a world of imaginary figments and metamorphoses.
Galia Bar Or, the director and curator of The Museum of Art in Ein Harod, considers Carmi as: “the inventor of a new genre of painting all her own. Cleverly escaping the entrapments of traditional painting, her work engages in a deep and thoughtful dialogue with relational depth patterns, its highly sensitized nervous system producing art that is nuanced, lightweight and fragmentary. […] Boundless and deeply personal, Carmi's version of [the myth of the artist] is channeled through the female nudes that dominate her work, women whose brushstrokes continuously recreate a world in painting – recreating but never appropriating. Essentially open-ended, her works come together and unravel as they echo a painterly realm suffused with architecture, politics, rites, theatrical sets, imagery and identities." [1]
Carmi's pieces in two-dimensional media often consist of "an overlay of thin, see-through papers [...] It appears as though they are sculptures forced into two dimensions, as if trying to break the limits of their own form." [2]
Recently, she has been developing new work in video and performance in collaboration with artist Meirav Heiman. Carmi holds teaching positions at the Holon Institute of Technology (HIT), HaMidrasha – Faculty of the Arts in Beit Berl College and The Tel Aviv Museum's Meyerhoff Art Education Center.
Carmi has had solo exhibitions at the Museum of Art Ein Harod, The Haifa Museum of Art, The Kibbutz Gallery in Tel Aviv and the Jerusalem Artists House, among other venues in Israel. She participated in group exhibitions locally and internationally, showing her work at The Tel Aviv Museum of Art, The Museum of Israeli Art in Ramat Gan, The Janco Dada Museum in Ein Hod, the Alexander Ochs Gallery in Berlin and more.

Avraham Eilat is an Israeli artist, educator and curator. He graduated from the Hebrew Gimnasium Herzliya in Tel Aviv, and was enrolled in Hashomer Hatzair youth movement for nine years starting at age 9. After military service in 1960 he joined in Kibbutz Shamir, situated on the western slopes of the Golan Heights in the Upper Galilee, where he was a member until 1978. During his first years in the kibbutz, Eilat was a shepherd side-by-side with his kibbutz adopting father the painter Moshe Cagan. Close contact with nature and its phenomenon and the features of local landscape deeply influenced his way of thinking and established the themes appearing along all his career in his art. The contrast between man-made geometrical shapes of fish ponds and the free flowing of the flora and typical hilly landscape of the Hula Valley area, crystallized his visual language and determined its formal and thematic foundations. Avraham Eilat employs skillfully various means of expression: drawing and painting, etching, photography, sculpture, installation, and often a combination of more than one. Using those means enriches his basic statement and makes it complex and multi-layered. Avraham Eilat lives in Ein Hod Artists Village, Israel, with his spouse Margol Guttman, works in his studio in Pyramida Center of Contemporary Art, Wadi Salib, Haifa, and in his studio in Ein Hod.
