Shai Azoulay

The Osnat Mozes prize committee for the year 2007 has decided to grant Shai Azoulay the 2007 prize for young artist.

Decision of the prize jury:
In his paintings, Shai Azoulay moves along a narrow thread stretched between historical narrative and intimate-human stories. With a seemingly gentle and ironic touch he deconstructs modernist and national mythologies, while reconstructing from them refreshing pictures lacking pretension which reveal as if for the first time the possibility of creating a dynamic world. The members of the Osnat Mozes committee were deeply impressed by Azoulay’s command of painterly skills, his knowledge of the history of painting, and of the contemporary critical discourse.

The ceremony will be held on Thursday 1.11.2007
