Early life
[edit]Tal Shochat was born in 1974 in Netanya.[1][2] She was educated at HaMidrasha School of Art, Beit Berl College from 1995 to 1999.[3]
Career
[edit]Shochat takes photographs of fruit trees against cloth backdrops.[4] An article on SFGate.com explained that she " cleaned every branch and leaf before shooting five fruit trees that grow in Israel - peach, almond, pomegranate, apple and persimmon - at their peak of ripeness against a black background."[5] In a review of an exhibit at the V&A, the Financial Times suggested her photographic method was comparable to David Buckland's.[4]
Her artwork is in the permanent collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) in Los Angeles, California, United States, and the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) in London, United Kingdom.[1][2] Another artwork was also held at the Art Gallery of the University of Haifa in Israel prior to its disestablishment.[3]
