Assaf Rahat's works are created using singular, unordinary techniques and materials suck as twine, sewing threads, plastic glue, industrial masking-tape, ink, and watercolors. His pension for unconventional materials results in works of art that are expressive, disturbing, and full of emotion.
Rahat's oeuvre engages with the relations between private space and the mental space: intimate descriptions of images from memory and introspections that include domestic objects, faces, intimate scenes, sexuality, and death. He corresponds with art history in works such as The Sacrificing Of Isaac following Caravaggio, and with Israeli art history as discerned in his representations of the artist Raffi Lavi, his former teacher at the art academy and the Master for generations of artists in Israel.
Born in 1970, Rahat is a graduate of the Midrasha School of Art in Beit Berl (1994-1998). He has exhibited seven solo shows, created a wall piece for the Yanko-Dada museum Ein- Hod, and participated in numerous group shows.
