The works of Tanya Wissotzky and Alexander Glatchansky are created by the interaction of two independent imaginations working in intellectual and aesthetic harmony. Wissotzky and Alexander were born the same year, 1959 and both studied at the Odessa Academy of Fine Arts. Their work is a complement of each other producing a visual dynamic of crescendo and diminuendo, a vibration between the sensuous and the cerebral. This young pair of Israeli artists has received critical acclaim and success both in Israel and abroad. Their works are found in public and private collections throughout the world, including the permanent exhibition at Binyanei Ha’uma in Jerusalem.
