Uprise, Abstract sculpture in Tel Aviv, Israel.
Uprise is a geometric metal sculpture that rises vertically from the ground, with angular forms creating different visual perspectives as you move around it. The structure consists of layered elements stacked together to form a dynamic composition reaching upward.
The sculpture was created between 1967 and 1976 by Menashe Kadishman, a period when Israeli artists were embracing international modernist approaches. This time marked a pivotal moment in the development of Israeli contemporary art.
The sculpture represents the evolution of Israeli public art, combining elements of geometric abstraction with references to the local landscape.
The work stands in an open public space where you can walk around it and observe how light and shadow play across its surfaces. Visit from different angles to experience how the sculpture changes its appearance throughout the day.
The metal structure transforms its appearance depending on the viewing angle, creating optical effects that reshape the space around it. This constantly shifting perception is central to the work, making each position around the sculpture feel like a new experience.
