• Israeli artist with Jewish and Arab roots
• Images of the human being in drawing, painting and sculpture
• Existential questions in an artistically unconventional form
Amir Nave's work oscillates between drawing, painting, and sculpture. He focuses on the human being, which he executes in an obsessive, spiritual, or even mystical manner. His "creatures" are figures sometimes depicted as a body, a head or an entity. They draw on deeply buried pasts as well as possible futures. Even if some of his works are reminiscent of classics of art history and mythology, Nave refutes the idea of a painterly representation of life. In his take on the story of Moharamia, the artist tells of a Revelation that appeared to the mortal Moharamia at the River of Jordan. Through his drawings and paintings, he renders this tale into a reflection on existential philosophical and metaphysical questions. This first comprehensive monograph presents the most significant works by Amir Nave from the past decade.Amir Nave (*1974, in Be'er Sheva, Israel) is a self-taught artist based in Tel Aviv and Paris. His works are part of the collections of the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, the Tel Avi Museum, Galerie In Situ-Fabienne Leclerc in Paris, among others. In 2024, he won the prestigious Drawing Prize of the Daniel and Florence Guerlain Foundation.
