High tech meets fine art in this collection of works by the Israeli-born
artists, Nachshon Peleg and Stavit Allweis. These two New York City residents with
backgrounds in the fine arts and design fields have been collaborating since 1996.
Together, Peleg and Allweis utilize a proprietary technique mating steel, resin, glass, and
found objects in combination with hand-painted acrylics and metallic paints to create one-of-a-kind
works of art.
'We start with a precision-cut stainless steel frame. Within this frame, the design is
handpainted with acrylics, metallic pastes and other water-based paints. A variety of
materials, from metals and glass to dyed organic seeds, are assembled within.
Semi-precious stones and crystals are embedded, and a thick layer of acrylic resin
is poured to encase and protect the finished piece. Finally, after several days of
curing, the piece is polished, twisted, glued and assembled with other items to
form the finished work.'
