Baranga may have studied Psychology and Hebrew Literature but art finally was meant to be her true vocation. Hands and mouths appear where least expected, threads that look like spider nests give you the impression of having found some forgotten treasures, bracelets suffocate their victims and at the same time want to set them free and everyday objects seem almost alive.
What more could we ask for? Ronit certainly has a very vivid imagination and although she flirts with the extremes, her sculptures still have an earthy charm. One of her latest creations is her anthropomorphic Vase that seems to be hungry for water.
Arter was opened in with the aim of providing a sustainable infrastructure for producing and exhibiting contemporary art.
The idea, as Ronit explains, is that the vase has a symbiotic relationship with the flowers. The flowers are feeding from the water in the vase, and thanks to that it is recognized as a vase and not as a bowl, for example. As Ronit explains, the brace restricts the body, but at the same time reaches out to touch its surrounding. We are pretty sure that for some of us could even symbolize this eternal fight between freedom and security that we encounter in every relationship.
She was inspired by the little perfume bottles which were used as amulets in ancient time and made rings based on their shapes. The rings are connected to each other with a thread that ties the hand which wears them. Ronit definitely has the ability to surprise us with her vivid work that questions the limits of the beautiful and proves that not everything is done and seen in the art world.
