Who is Omri Amrany?

Omri Amrany is an Israeli-American best known as a sculptor and painter, though also accomplished as an architectural innovator and wall tapestry artist. Self-taught, he taps into such movements as surrealism for inspiration but eludes being categorized, inventing his own terminology and varying his style. Philosophically a humanist, he gravitates to the human figure as his subject matter, once saying that he uses the figure as an alphabet in order to express his philosophy in a sentence. He is co-founder of the Fine Art Studio of Rotblatt-Amrany in Fort Sheridan, Illinois, a studio that brings to the United States the aims and traditions of the ateliers of Europe, as well as The Julia Foundation, a not-for-profit arts organization.
