Memy Ish-Shalom is a sculptor working in clay, bronze, resin, stone, and wood. Born and raised in Jerusalem, Israel, he relocated to the United States in 2002 and later settled in Newton, Massachusetts. In 2014, he concluded a 30-year career in technology, allowing him to focus entirely on his sculptural practice. 

Ish-Shalom’s work has been exhibited in several museums and included in over 60 group and solo exhibitions. He has received multiple awards, and his sculptures are held in public and private collections. Two large granite sculptures are part of the permanent New Art Archeology collection at the YV Art Museum, Acton, Massachusetts.

My art responds to the personal and the universal human experience. I strive to transform these experiences into sculptures, both abstract and figurative, to capture motion and to express deep emotions. I utilize a range of mediums such as clay, resin, bronze, stone, natural and exotic wood, and I continue to explore and try out additional mediums and techniques. ~ M.I.S.
