The encounter with Edward Levin\u2019s exhibition introduces the viewer to an intellectual and persuasive painter. The occupation of contemporary art with \u201cStill life\u201d is a daily practice though nonetheless traditional and professional. Difficult as it is to be innovative in such a genre, Levin makes still life live through his powerful use of color, brushstrokes and intense emotions.
\nBorn in 1934, Edward Levin immigrated to Israel in 1976 from Minsk (the former Soviet Union). During the early 80\u2032s he exhibited solo exhibitions in Paris, London and the Jerusalem Artists\u2019 House. He has not shown a solo exhibition since.
\nLevin is a mature and proud artist who sees himself as a descendant of the European painting tradition. He lives as a solitary, cloistered painter in Jerusalem, and devotes himself to his artwork. His sensitive, confident hand achieves surprising insights.
\nIn this current exhibition Levin presents some 40 oil paintings and encaustics, mostly produced in the recent decade.<\/p>\n
