| New Artists Program |
 |
In February 2008, Commtouch opened its "Art@Work" program,
in which new artists can display their works at Commtouch's Netanya headquarters
in an exhibition that rotates periodically.
Each exhibition is developed in conjunction with the artist,
who then presents a gallery talk to Commtouch employees and guests.
Currently on exhibition is the work of Iris London-Zolty,
a recreational photographer who has studied photography for several
years at the Odyssey School in Israel and with the well-known photographer,
Shai Ginot. An attorney by profession, London-Zolty works in the non-profit
sector in a managerial capacity. She is married and the mother of three
daughters.
Her "Sun Umbrellas" photographs were first exhibited at the Tel Aviv Port
last summer. Viewed by thousands, they are a cheerful celebration of light,
color, beauty and joy. The use of various display materials - including
photographs printed on canvas beach chairs - emphasizes the versatility
of the subject.
Why umbrellas? In the artist's own words:
"For the last two years, I've focused on photographing sun
umbrellas - icons of Israeliness, sun, freedom. I found the
subject to be fascinating and challenging. Umbrellas are so
common that we hardly notice them, yet they are alive with surprises;
I found in them an endless source of imagery, character and humanity."
