Arts 2008

Yigal Ozeri
Anima
Painting and Prints 1994–2007
September 11—November 9
Singer Gallery
Mon.–Fri. 9 a.m.–5 p.m.
Sat. Closed; Sun. 1–4 p.m.

Born in Israel in 1948, Yigal Ozeri has become an artist of internationally recognized achievement and
significance. Beginning in the early 1990s, Ozeri – frustrated by the conceptual and stylistic frameworks
that define contemporary art – turned to the baroque extravagance and masterful techniques of the Golden Age of Spanish painting: Velazquez, Zurburran and El Greco. His new-found embrace of the
human figure led to remarkable series of archetypically powerful images of women.

In the past twenty years, Ozeri has created a new imagery of the female – one that usurps the conventional kinds of representation in Western art. The exhibition Anima traces the evolution and persistence of this journey. The “anima”, according to Carl Jung, is the personification of all feminine psychological tendencies within a man. The “anima” leads him into unexplored depths of feeling, relationship and empathy.

Yigal Ozeri is represented in numerous public and private collections in Israel, Europe and America. In 2005 he was the subject of an exhibition entitled Four Seasons. Curated by Mordechai Omer, it was one of the largest, most ambitious surveys organized by the Tel Aviv Museum of Art.

Continuing the year-long honoring of Israel’s 60th Anniversary, Avraham Hay – Face to Face: Portraits of
Israeli Artists is a collection of black-and-white photographs that depict the lives and work of Hay’s
fellow Israeli artists.

By portraying artists in their own studios and among their own work, Hay’s images offer a perspective
on the ways in which personality traits and lifestyle choices influence the creative process. His portraits
have been displayed in the Israel Museum, the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, the Museum of Israeli Art in
Ramat Gan and elsewhere.
