Samy D.
Born in France, 1968, Samy D. is a pioneering ceramic artist, living in Israel and creating since 1997. His works are well published in dominant design and fashion journals and are held at the homes and galleries of important art collectors around the world. Samy D.'s store in Shabazi st., Neve-Zedek, lead a significant change in the Israeli world of ceramic functional art: it is for the first time that a dominant studio continuously presents the works of an artist, bearing his individual signature and its dynamics along the years. This signature is characterized by innovative and humoresque lines interwoven with ever- classic fineness.
In addition to the celebrated studio in the Neveh-Tsedek, Samy D. is active in collaboration with distinguished companies and private clients, for personal and custom designs and productions. Among the largest of these were Bank Hapoalim, Microsoft- Netherlands and EL-AL Israeli Airlines First Class. All his works are hand-made and tended by the artist himself, always composed of highest- quality materials such as stoneware, 14K gold and porcelain- Limoges.
The originality of his work, as well as an impressive mastery of the material and technology, denoted Samy D.'s immediate and extensive recognition. Recent collections of the artist were hosted by leading art galleries in Israel and abroad, including the Haifa Museum of Art, Eretz-Israel Museum (Tel-Aviv), the SOFA exhibition in Chicago, IL and the Craft show at the Philadelphia Museum of Art (November 2008).
