Sharon Brunsher

Sharon Brunsher was born in 1972 in Ramat Gan. She studied at the Industrial Design Program of the Design and Architecture Workshop.

Brunsher’s journey in the design and art world started in 2005 and continues to this day with her eponymous design company, which is sold in Israel and worldwide. In 1999-2004 she was in charge of the design and artistic direction of Sabon company, and since 2013 has been leading the paper brand Papier. At the same time, Brunsher also engages in artistic consulting, design, and creative for clients in the fields of branding, product design, and interior design.

In her years of activity, Brunsher has always incorporated different disciplines, merging them with harmony and coherence. She creates from a place of passion on the one hand and research on the other hand: manipulating various materials, playing tricks, and engaging in a dialogue with them using lab-like methods that produce fascinating and powerful outcomes. 

Over the years, her practice focused on the material-body relationship. In her works, she unfolds a story about the material and its relationship with the viewer and the space. Brunsher creates tension between the conflicting properties of each material: stone versus paper, wood versus a photograph, clay versus writing. The concurrent use of diverse materials lends itself to intriguing and versatile combinations and underscores the distinctive properties of each. Thematically too, Brunsher poses many dichotomies between presence and absence, the transient and the eternal, fragments and whole, weight and levitation. She puts to the test the temporal dimension and its impact on different bodies.
