Rolly Schaffer

Rolly Schaffer moved with his family to Paris in 1964 for 2 years after which they settled in Safed, Israel.

Schaffer grew interested in the unique techniques of the two which were oriented by scientific analysis of both the harmony and the clash of colours simultaneously.

[1] He applied his canvases with different drabs of primary colours and thus creating a sense of movement whilst the eye looked from afar.

Upon his return to Safed he began to develop his own artistsic style, a unique clash and synthesis between local traditions and European art.

Through this newfound language he succeeded in conveyeing a dramatic atmosphere to the doors, ancient alleys and windows of his canvases.
