Winner of the 2015 Osnat Mozes Painting Prize for a Young Artist

This year’s winner of the Osnat Mozes Painting Prize for a Young Artist is Pearl Schneider.

Excerpts from the Prize Committee’s decision: “Pearl Schneider’s paintings describe a world that is rich and full of imagination. It is with rare restraint, sincerity and modesty, that they beckon the viewer into their midst. Her paintings convey a clarity and precision; they demand further observation and suspend a sense of fulfillment. Every brushstroke, however swift, appears deeply meaningful. Schneider may depart from the traditional rectangular format and pursue fascinating and fragile sculptural adventures. However, even when the painting becomes an object, it always finds its way back to painting’s terrain, led home by a unique use of color and form. For her remarkable sincerity, modesty and devotion, we choose to grant Pearl Schneider the Osnat Moses Prize for Painting”.
