About
As CFHILL welcomes Ohad Meromi back for his solo exhibition Noa, we are presented with a body of work that continues to extend the boundaries of sculpture and painting through vibrant utopian contemplation. The exhibition marks an evolution from Meromi’s earlier thematic engagements with dance, movement, and geometric abstractions, revealing an interplay between the dimensional and the flat, the temporal and the eternal.
Meromi’s works are an engagement with the sensory experience of space, both in his sculptural practice and his hesitant approach to the term “painting” for his 2D works. These pieces, acrylic and collage on simple plywood panels, invite us to consider space the way a sculptor might. In the intersection of immersive visual space and the constructed blocks of color and shape, Meromi offers a utopian horizon where scale is abandoned and the politics of the body dissolve into pure visual play.
Each piece is constructed, a collage of forms and hues, echoing the layers of identity and collective memory that have been a recurring philosophical motif throughout Meromi’s career. This approach extends into sculpture, where foam and resin become instruments of quick, gestural creation—a process that mirrors the ephemeral nature of dance itself. Meromi’s “futuristic archeology” challenges the viewer to see beyond the immediate, drawing connections between the ancient and the yet-to-come.
While Meromi’s artistic lineage traces back to the pioneering modernists and Bauhaus ideals, his current works offer a contemporary reimagining of this legacy. He is strikingly modern, yet utterly grounded in the complexities
of the present moment: with the backdrop of today’s conflicts and social upheavals, “Noa” confronts us with Meromi’s personal struggle between hope and despair. The utopian pursuit, so deeply ingrained in Meromi’s practice, is more poignant than ever, reflecting a bipolar cycle of creating art in the hope of a meaningful future.
The exhibit is an interactive space where one’s presence completes the dialogue initiated by the artworks. Here, each work becomes a refuge—a place where one feels at home. Meromi’s reconfiguration of movement and stillness, form and color, individual and collective, historical and futuristic, invites us to imagine the possible. Welcome into Meromi’s reimagined monuments and landscapes of hope.
