Yuri Tremler was born in the Ukraine in 1961. As a young man, he attended the College of Arts in Kharkov. He later continued his studies at the Kharkov Art & Design Academy as well as the Gall Design School in Germany. After completing his studies, Tremler returned to Kharkov where he worked as a metal smith. After several years there he immigrated to Israel where he became interested in several different artistic mediums. Tremler dabbled in crafts, industrial design, interior design, and participated in many exhibitions. After exploring new media to work with, he finally decided to dedicate himself almost exclusively to painting in 1998.
The artist’s striking and spontaneous palette clearly expresses a gamut of emotional states and moods. Painted with the accuracy of a designer and the delicacy of a colorist, his works both inspire and calm. He often uses the female form and contrasts it with geometric shapes in his paintings. The contrast between the stasis of his stylized female silhouettes and the dynamic interaction of his brightly colored patches and complex textures creates a feeling of internal peace, balanced with the harmony of the external world.
Tremler’s works reveal a pronounced decorativeness, giving them a luxurious and pleasurable tone. The richness of the artist’s palette is eye-catching. The vertical and horizontal lines in one of his geometric works swim and blur, his use of a palette knife instead of a brush gives his paintings a glossy finish. Crystalline squares and objects blend with feminine silhouettes, moving whimsically from light to shadow, reflecting each other- flowers and women, vases and goblets- coming to halt in scattered multicolored cubes. Tremler’s paintings move from the rational to the emotional. The images in his masterful works saturate the emotions and remain in the imagination.
