Anyone who has seen Amnon David Ar’s luminous, colourful works will not forget them. His highly aesthetic paintings show subjects that are often humorous and that create a tension field between fantasy and reality. This volume shows all the artist’s creative phases and directs our gaze to the remarkable qualities of ostensibly inconspicuous objects.
Ar (b. 1973) is an Israeli artist living and working in Berlin. His paintings of everyday objects, people and street views seem alive and stand out for their modernity and topicality. In his work with models and objects he captures the essence of his subjects. Strong colours, the play of light and shade and clear forms encompass a wide range of realistic painting.Ar does not hide the imperfect, he plays with it!
