Mosh Kashi was born 1966 in Jerusalem. Lives and works in Tel Aviv.
Kashi is a contemporary pantheist in that his painting study field is based on views and imagery from nature. His paintings include fields, trees and entanglement, landscape and wide open space that try to express a place of which time stops, which is timeless and spaceless. Kashi's paintings are not created as a single painting but are created as a series of paintings. Every painting stands by itself and in every series there's a slow and research like attendance of the chosen subject. This kind of method of work allows Kashi to investigate, analyze and accuracy.
Kashi graduated from Hamidasha School of art and has an MA in Arts Education from University of Leeds,UK. He is Senior Lecturer at the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem. Kashi's art has been exhibited in many solo and group exhibitions in Israel and worldwide. He has received numerous prestigious awards, among them: the Israeli Young Artist Award (1994), the Cité des Arts Scholarship, Paris (1996), the Artistic Achievement Award, Israel (1997) and Israeli Minister of Education and Culture Prize for the Visual Arts (2004). His works are included in various public collections including the Israel Museum collection, Haifa Museum collection, Herzelia Museum Collection, Tefen Museum collection and also private collections worldwide. He also exhibited in selected art fairs abroad in Berlin, New York, Paris and Miami.
