Ronit Judelman
Games in Johannesburg

Her style is contemporary and conceptual. A multi-faceted individual- an accomplished multi-dimensional artist as well as a clinical and educational psychologist, sculpture (clay, oil), Ronit Judelman works in a variety of media: drawing and painting (acrylic, resin) and photography.

They are beautifully crafted and luscious and yet contain a social message. Similarly her photographs of people moving very quickly (in a gym or at an airport) speak of the endless motion of the rat race and the futility of the movement. She later embarked on an artistic career (architectural and product design) at Betzalel Academy of Arts in Jerusalem where she completed the introductory year. Subsequently, she pursued an academic career in Psychology in Johannesburg, South Africa where she currently resides: working, studying and making frequent trips to Israel, her original home. Judelman’s connection with art (in the form of informal painting, art workshops and, art teaching) persisted throughout the years of her academic studies to become first, an educational psychologist (M.A degree with an internship in a school for children with learning disabilities), and second a clinical psychologist (M.A. with an internship in a mental hospital); as well as running a busy private practice in psychology. Subsequently, she enrolled for a B.V.A (Bachelor in Visual Arts), a four year degree at the University of South Africa. On completion of her studies she received the Top Visual Arts Student Award (2010). As a multi-dimensional artist, she works in a variety of media. She uses acrylic, enamel, and oil paint on canvas as well as perspex, resin and found objects to create her sculptures. The artist’s present works are conceptual as they are informed by the insights she acquired in her life experience and the years of practice as a clinical and educational psychologist.
