Rethink the Mundane
Omer Ga’ash’s solo exhibition “Rethink the Mundane” opens on 12 May 2025 at The Israeli Opera Tel Aviv-Yafo. By invoking the everyday—rock outcrops, city façades, rolling fields—as sites of uncanny beauty, Ga’ash urges us to question what we pass by unremarked. His meticulously composited images fuse bodies and environment so seamlessly that what once seemed ordinary becomes charged with new, poetic possibility. The title captures the exhibition’s core ambition: to transform the familiar into the extraordinary. In each scene, limbs echo architectural angles, torsos mirror geological contours, and models merge into the backdrop until neither figure nor landscape can be called “mere” setting or “simple” form. Through this alchemy, Ga’ash opens our eyes to the latent wonder in the world around us.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Making the Corporeal Abstract
Making the Corporeal Abstract presents Ga’ash’s photographs of undressed bodies translated into pattern, applied to different materials from the norm. Via the manipulation of imagery, he generates patterns that do not exist in nature, but which allude to both the natural and the unnatural - if not the supernatural. His goal is to suspend judgment, to blur boundaries (personal, geographical), and to create connections between characters who may never have met, and may never meet, and thereby to tell a new and different story.
Through interaction with the patterns; from a distance and then up close and somewhat personal –shapes become people (become shapes etc). Pattern suggests infinity, and the arbitrary cut lines in any format serve to emphasise this further still. And beyond repetition, Ga’ash uses intensity of colour to blur gender, race and age, and tothereby create uniformity and acceptability.
