David Ascalon
In 1977 I relocated to southern NJ where I established Ascalon Studios.
I have found my life's work designing and creating monumental sculpture,
art objects, and architectural art (in all media) primarily for synagogues
and public spaces.
The foundation of my work is my heritage—Jewish
tradition melded with an artistic lineage, and built on the premise that
an artist should give something of himself to others. Born in Israel in
1945, I received my early artistic training from my father, Maurice Ascalon
(formerly Klein) founder of Israel's renowned Pal Bell decorative arts
company. I came to the US as a teenager, studied art at Ucal Northridge,
and received my architectural degree from NY's Pratt Institute. Throughout
the 1970's, I worked in the field of architecture but soon left in search
of a more immediate means of expression.
